Beer Makes You Sexy ... Until Morning
» Amorous Scholarship
Optometric researchers at the University Manchester University explain the beer goggle effect and its role in dating.
The drink-fuelled phenomenon is said to transform supposedly "ugly" people into beauties - until the morning after. ...
A poll showed that 68% of people had regretted giving their phone number to someone to whom they later realised they were not attracted.
A formula rating of less than one means no effect. Between one and 50 the person you would normally find unattractive appears less "visually offensive".
Non-appealing people become suddenly attractive between 51 and 100. At more than 100, someone not considered attractive looks like a super model.
'Beer goggles' effect explained

I feel the study ignores a factor I’ve noticed anecdotally: drinking alcohol does seem to slightly affect the appearance of the drinker. I believe it may relax the facial muscles or something like that.

Yeah, it can give them a pleasingly silly smile or make them look just plain stupid.
For guys the sad fact is that sometimes beer makes you impotent.

well i think beer just makes a person more relaxed and open to the idea that someone may be fun, or sexy even if they arent the stereotype of ‘fun or sexy’. now i find that i am attracted very much to a mans personality or attitude, and i think beer makes my boyfriend more attractive this could be explained by a more ‘forward’ behavior or just plain reckless drunkeness. Its diffrent for everyone. Good topic im looking forward to reading more responses.!
