Some new research in Glasgow (where else?) shows that ... well, read it for yourself!

As the country tune says: "I never went to bed with an ugly girl, but I sure woke up with a few."

As Hymphrey Littleton (respected Jazz Trumpeter for those that haven't heard of him) says - I doesn't make you play any better but it makes everyone else sound better. I guess that goes for foreplay too.

I guess that's why, as Mickey Gilley said, “The Girls All Get Prettier At Closing Time.”

Wow! Another case of accidental edification via Mudcat! I had heard "Beer Goggles" used as an alternate title for the fiddle tune "Dinky's" , but I had no idea what it meant. Thanks for adding another nugget to this Yank's storehouse of useless information!

Those goggles work on hearing, too. Darius Brubeck describes it happening in jazz dives where you walk away having had a rich and good musical experience, without having heard any good music! :> )

and dont forget The "Beer scooter" That mysterious vehicle that whisks you home after a drinking bout so that you can not remember the journey next morning, but you know you must have been bumped about on it because of the unexplained injuries, usually bruises, you have acquired!!!!!

It took a spot or two to spot the real significance of the faces surveyed. Let's face it, the attractive faces (114 of 'em) are near the end of the article. I'm now watching my wrist, and having more spots. IT'S TRUE! The face gets more attractive by the moment - my ticker is ticking faster - the hands are waving - drawing me to a liaison dangereaux - I'll have to watch it! TOO LATE - I'll clock out - I'm in LOVE with my timepiece.

Cheers - Sam

Just a piece of trivia: Dr Karl is an Oz radio & tv identity. I have been wondering why my hubby & his mates have suddenly started talking about beer goggles in the last couple of days, and thought that maybe hubby had been drawn into the Mudcat Forum somehow because this thread showed up at the same time.

It's more likely that he has been listening to Dr Karl on the radio.

Damn, there goes the spooky coincidence theory!

"Simpsons" fans will recall that one of Marge's ugly sisters got broody once and took Bart to the Duff Beer theme park. In the shop Bart finds a stand of "Beer Gggles -- See the World throught the Eyes of a Drunk!". He luts them on (they look like brown beer-bottle bottoms) and looks around; as the sister passes through the lenses, she becomes very attractive, with a décolletage to suit!

Is there anything which has the reverse effect?

I suppose you could argue strict sobriety is just such a thing. An attitude expressed in the old remark about how some people are always one or two drinks under par.
