'Beer Goggles' explained at last!

[InsaneApache]

Another step to explaining the meaning of life.


Scientists believe they have worked out a formula to calculate how "beer goggles" affect a drinker's vision.

The drink-fuelled phenomenon is said to transform supposedly "ugly" people into beauties - until the morning after.

As the old saying goes....."I've never been to bed with an ugly woman, but I've woken up to a few"; at last the answer is revealed. :laugh4:

Looking prettier, dunno, when I am drunk I just care less :laugh4:

The research was commissioned by eyecare firm Bausch & Lomb PureVision.So this is why my contact lenses cost so much. :inquisitive:

What's most depressing is that the University of Reading has announced the closure of its Physics department whilst studies like this get the lion's share of research funding.

:shame:

Bullony.

I'm with Banquo here 100%.

How does this research benefit mankind?

If the benefits are not obvious, then I'm not sure what could possibly be said.
