Science proves it: Alcohol makes 'em better-looking Reuters News Service LONDON - Want to be more attractive? Then make sure those around you are having a drink. British scientists have found even modest amounts of alcohol will make the opposite sex appear better-looking. "We have carried out experiments which show that what is known in the trade as the 'beer-goggle effect' does actually exist," said Barry Jones, professor of psychology at Glasgow University. The study of 120 male and female students found drinking up to four units of alcohol -- about two pints of beer or four glasses of wine -- increased the perceived attractiveness of members of the opposite sex by about 25 percent. Jones said alcohol apparently stimulates a part of the brain called the nucleus accumbens, which judges facial attractiveness. "There is a strong link between facial attractiveness and signals about the quality of a potential mate," Jones said. The professor said the study had been prompted by the causal link between risky sex and alcohol consumption. Its findings come at a time when young Britons are increasingly binge drinking, which has serious health risks. wow, people actually spent money to do a scientific study on beer goggles? i'm too dumbfounded by the insanity of this to make a sarcastic comment! what next? a scientific study that eating too many cheeseburgers will in fact make you fat?
OMG!! They needed a study to figger that one out?? They could have just given me the money they spent figgerin that one out and I could have told em that!!
I used to play tennis, but then I realized that I would never be as good as a wall. Man, those things are relentless.
