I think the drinking goggles are sometimes accompanied with drinking mufflers. Cause things heard amidst a music and conversation-filled lounge or bar can often seem more interesting than they actually are.
Fun post!

It's like that old saying "Everyone looks good at closing time."

I couldn't agree with you more! I have always been convinced that a lack of intelligence is even more of a turn-off then the lack of attractiveness in the body...

Ok Naut, let me put forward another alcohol disability, and to accessorise
with the beer goggles, there are beer plugs (for your ears, obviously).
Waking up to someone that somehow diminished overnight in looks, and spoke the most godawful bullshite with the worst accents makes me wonder if alcohol is the liquid form of some sort of nerve gas that attacks you sense and sensibilities.
This is why I am a failed ladette, and took very early retirement. Plus good old leftover Catholic guilt.

LOL. You're right, of course, it works the other way around as well! What's sauce for the gander...

Ah, the beer goggles.
As far as I know, I have perfect vision, so any beer goggling done on my part was purely from my own nefarious and undoing devices.
On those rare occasions it happened, I always chalked it up to pod people from outer space who kidnapped the beautiful princess I was with the night before, leaving behind some hacking, hulking, straw-haired harpy whose breath could clean ovens.

I once sent a rose to a cute older guy seen across a smoky room...
He had his hair combed neatly back, wore a red plaid flannel shirt -- like the guys I graduated high school with way back in the dark ages. The anonymous rose piqued his interest, he bribed the barmaid (surprise! surprise!) and found me with my girlfriends. To my horror, he wasn't an older guy -- he was a much younger guy. Classy and nice, but such a puppy. We had a drink and a laugh together. No harm done. :)

maybe you should write a paper on your system, submit it to the Department of Clinical Optometry at the University of Manchester for evaluation, and then have it published in the
Scientific American...

I think you may well be right, that B&L's motivation in funding this research was driven by the hope that their product would not be found to be a a factor in these unfortunate cases...

Sorry
With all the typo's in my previous comment, I probably seem to have already drunk those 6 beers and it is only 08h37 in the morning.

Ha! Ha!
As students we used to rank girls according to beers. An naturally attractive girl would get a zero beer rank. An unattrective gril woulg get a 6 beer rank. The ranking worked on the number of beers one needs to consume before a gril is deemed attractive. Were'nt we dogs

So is B&L saying "Don't blame the contacts"?
The research is ready to be submitted as evidence, but what is the case?
