Valentine’s and the beer goggles effect
It’s Valentine’s Day and you don’t have a date. Normally not having a date doesn’t bother you very much. Today, seeing all your friends, workmates and others sharing their love publically by exchanging gifts, candy, sexy undies or flowers makes you think twice. Ok, it’s the sexy undies that make you think twice.
Later you find yourself at the bar or pub drinking a few more than you’d planned on, hoping to find someone who’s also experiencing a drought in the dating department. Be careful when trolling for dates while you’re drinking.
The Beer Goggles Effect
In a study conducted by researchers at England’s Manchester University in 2005, scientists studied the extent of the “beer goggle” effect on a given individual in a given situation. They found that alcohol is not really the only factor affecting the drunken perception of beauty. Other factors, according to their research, include:
* How well lit the area is
* The quality of your eyesight
* The amount of smoke in the air
* The distance between you and the target
For instance.. The woman on the left is the real woman. She’s not overly attractive and honestly, after a few beers, she’s still going to be less attractive than the women on the right.
So be careful out there. Valentine’s Day is only one day of the year. Get past it. The beer goggles effect is real and you don’t want to have to saw your arm off in the morning.
You’ve got plenty of time to find someone special who’ll spoil you rotten and will have wild and crazy sex with you.

Nice. I think it’s silly to spend such holiday as Valentine’s Day alone in the pub. If you haven’t find you love it isn’t a holiday for you. And the facts in the article are really useful

I think you’re right..When you drink too much beer it will create an illusion..Not so good people will definitely look good if you’re a little bit tipsy..^_^
