Careful at the Next Irregulars Gathering: Researchers Show "Beer Goggles" Are Real

Yep, it is true that alcohol enhances the attractiveness of those around you. And it doesn't take much...only the alcohol in about 1 and a half beers increases attractiveness of others about 10%.

Even more surprising, it happens across gender and orientations. Straight guys find other guys more attractive and the same for women. The results were published in the Journal of Alcohol and Alcoholism.

So be careful out there or nine months after the next blogger meetup there may be some little Irregulars!

Interesting.....So then can it be concluded that after a couple of beers, a homosexual has a tendency toward being heterosexual?

Have you ever been in a bind to open a beer but don't have a bottle opener? Check this out....

I prefer to open it this way...

Other options I've used:
Car key
Dog tags
Claw hammer
Edge of the counter (put the bottle next to a counter with the cap resting of the top, push down on the bottle)
Edge of the counter (smash the neck of the bottle on the counter, spit out the glass)
I like your method KK. Just remember to put the church key on the necklace or that could hurt big time.

"...only the alcohol in about 1 and a half beers increases attractiveness of others about 10%."

Therefore, 15 beers would make everyone 100% attractive. Sounds about right.

If you party like some of the Irregulars, nine months later you'll still be hungover.

Hale, there is good news and bad news...

Good news is that 2 irregulars would make a regular, sort of like a double negative...

The bad news is that we are all so old that we forget what we are doing before anything harmful can come of it....

tee hee....
