Study says: Beer Goggles do exist

A study found that if you drink 4 units of alcohol, it improves the appearance of the opposite sex by 25%.

Explains why you wake up to coyote ugly the morning after. :wink:

What amazes me is that they felt the need to study this… isn’t it, like, common knowledge? :smiley:

I just heard that on the radio! Do you have a cite or anything so that I may read and expand upon my knowledge.

So 4 equals 25%

Now if someone was peel the walls ugly I would have to drink 16 beers?? Not impossible, but I think my willy might be too drunk to work. It would go stumblingly to and fro and end up vomiting (peeing) uncontrollably into my pants as I tried to play Mr. Kewl with the ladies.

Cite?
Not that I need one, since I can confirm it’s true. But still, would be interesting to see the study.

Here’s a link the the story.

In other science and booze related news, this link has equally stunning news.

Sorry guys, I don’t have a cite. :frowning:

Meatros, you probably heard it on Stern like I just did. :slight_smile:

Well, Duh!

Key-rist! Where do I sign up for some of this “grant” money???

Lola-I believe it was on Stern.

You know I always wondered how drunken frat boys got degrees in science…

FTR and this is from my own err…umm… personal study, it takes 6 beers to improve the appearance of a person of the same sex by 25%.
Swampbear, who has been researching this study for approximately 30 years, but only for scientific purposes. No. Really. I Swear.

This study has it all wrong – the more beer she’s had, the better she looks.

::running like hell::

We needed a study to quantify it obviously. Before, we may have suspected that alchohol made others appear more attractive, but how much beer v. how much more attractive was an unknown quantity.

Now, armed with this data point (and I’m sure the researchers are holding back a few more relevant research points) you can figure out how much you should encourage that guy/girl in the corner to drink to make you attractive enough, without going overboard and having him/her throw up or fall asleep on you.

This is exactly the sort of research that needs encouraging, and more funding, and I’ll even volunteer myself for future studies.

You all know what th difference between a dog and a fox is, right?
RIGHT?

A six pack. :smiley:

Huh. Last weekend I was out drinking while on vacation. I probably had about three-fourths of a pitcher of beer. When I staggered back to the hotel I was staying at, there was a wedding reception that had been going on all day. I happened to see the bride on my way to the elevator. She looked gorgeous. I congradualted her, and went to my room. Now with this data, I am wondering if she may have been 25-30 percent uglier than I perceived.
