Researchers at the UK's University of Bristol (the Fightin' Apologists) have determined that the concept of "beer goggles" is more than anecdotal. Apparently, there's a bit of science behind it. These scientists performed a controlled experiment that involved getting subjects tanked (dreadfully sorry, luv) and then showing them pictures of similar-aged people of both sexes. The control group only got lime-flavored beverages (dreadfully sorry, gov). Men and women drinking alcohol rated the faces in the pictures as more attractive than did the control group. Moreover, the results were as consistent among same-sex photos as they were with opposite-sex photos, which if I apply the scientific method liberally here means that drinking alcohol eliminates homophobia.
