Beer Goggles Are Real - It’s Science

Sixty percent of the time beer goggles work every time. Looks like beer goggles are now a valid excuse for why you took home that chick from the accounting department that you normally wouldn’t talk to after the company Christmas party.

Researchers in the U.K. tested a group of 84 heterosexual students. Half the group was given a lime flavored drink with no booze and the other half was given a similarly flavored drink spiked with the piss. After 15 minutes both groups were shown a set of photographs containing pictures of both sexes. The boozers consistently rated both the males and females in the photographs as more attractive than the stone cold sober control group.

This is probably going to end up being one of the most emailed stories on the net once guys start sending it to their buddies with messages like, “See I told you it was the beer goggles.” It’s like using a “get out of jail free” card and then rolling a three and pulling another “get out of jail free” out of the Community Chest. It makes you feel better about what you did in the past and makes you feel better about what you know you’ll end up doing in the future.
