Definition of “beer goggles” from Wikipedia: “Beer goggles is a slang term for a phenomenon in which one’s consumption of alcohol makes physically unattractive people appear beautiful. The term is often associated with the awkward experience of waking up the following morning to discover that the person lying next to you is less attractive than you had previously believed (see also coyote ugly).”
NOTE: “Scientists believe they have worked out a formula to calculate how ‘beer goggles’ affect a drinker’s vision.” [Read all about it: BBC]

Oh, they’ll have a entry for beer goggles, but one for a little improv group in Denver is unceremoniously deleted. Sorry, I’m a little miffed at Wikipedia right now.
I would like to know who continues to fund research into things one learns in life. How about they spend some money to figure out why I’m so cranky tonight. :)
I personally prefer beer jackets to beer goggles. It’s what allows me to wear something relatively skimpy when I go out drinking!
From the article: “The research was commissioned by eyecare firm Bausch & Lomb PureVision.”
I see the following ad campaign:
“Take off the Beer Goggles and put on PureVision contact lens!”
Howard: Yeah, I’m always surprised when they have these crazy studies that report some earth-shattering discovery like: ‘people who eat healthy foods live longer” or “people who don’t get enough sleep are often tired the next morning”
Darwin: Beer jacket. :)
MamaChristy: That’s pretty funny!! :)
So BG’s must have developed in the olden times… as an evolutionary mechanism to guarantee procreation. I wonder what came first, beer goggles or English Pubs…
Oh, certainly, the English Pubs!! :-)
