Beer Goggles

Researchers at U.K.'s Durham University have finally answered one of life's most important questions.... do "beer goggles" really make people look more attractive? And as it turns out, booze doesn't actually make people look more attractive to a drinker, it just turns up their level of lust. According to the study's author, Dr. Amanda Ellison, "Alcohol switches off the rational and decision-making areas of the brain, while leaving the areas to do with sexual desire relatively intact." So, next time someone blames their drunken date-night on "beer goggles," feel free to tell them science shows otherwise.
