Beer Goggles formula

Ever wondered why that person who you find hugely unattractive at the beginning of a night out seems to have become strangely beautiful after a few stiff drinks? Well a professor of clinical optometry at Manchester University has come up with a formula to help you decide the extent of your 'beer goggles'. Factors taken into consideration include alcohol consumed, smokiness of room, distance from person, eyesight and lighting. Do you think that this sort of research is useful? Or should university professors concentrate on researching more pressing issues?

How much money was wasted on this? (in the loosest possible terms) scientific research.

I think it's a load of nonsense. We all know that alcohol is an uninhibitor, which is the only reason why people become 'more attractive' if you're out looking for a potential partner.

Also, we're supposed to be attracted to people with symmetrical faces and also a high percentage of what we perceive as attractive is sub-conscious (somebody's scent etc.).

The factors above can apply to anyone you meet whether you're sober or not.

I'm sure they'd love to spend more time on more important research but you gotta pay the bills!

The research was commissioned by eyecare firm Bausch & Lomb PureVision.

Sorry does that undermine the question?

I remember thinking I was getting off with a bloke who was the spitting image of Mark O'Toole from Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

In the morning he was more Peter O'Toole..on a bad day.
