They do too, for I have worn them. < |:(~

Ever felt one too many drinks have fooled you into thinking someone is better looking than they are?
Well, you wouldn’t be alone… but you would be wrong, it is claimed.
‘Beer goggles’ are a myth because we see each other no differently regardless of how much alcohol we have had.
The part of the brain controlling sexual urges keeps going no matter how much we have drunk.
It means our ability to assess someone’s attractiveness stays the same – until we pass out, that is.
‘We still see others basically as they are,’ said Dr Amanda Ellison, who conducted the study.
‘There is no imagined physical transformation – just more desire.
‘Hangovers are caused by dehydration: the brain shrinks and tugs on the meninges.
‘But before that, alcohol switches off the rational and decision-making areas of the brain while leaving the areas to do with sexual desire relatively intact.’
Dr Ellison, of the psychology department of Durham University, says it is a fluke of nature that the lust section of the brain – the oldest part – still functions in the face of booze.
Her findings go against previous studies which have suggested people appear more attractive to others after they have had a drink.
Sounds like she is rationalizing her 2am pick ups...
“[I] don’t look any different....”
Who ya gonna believe, a group of schooled academics or the 300 pound coed waking up next to you?
Even drunk they still look ugly, but you just don’t care.
You want your ashes hauled.
My own research into this subject provided contrary evidence.
I’ve never gone to bed with an ugly woman, but I sure have woken up with a lot of them!
A famous philosopher pondered:
“I really do appreciate the fact you’re sittin here
Your voice sounds so wonderful
But yer face don’t look too clear
So bar maid bring a pitcher, another round o brew
Honey, why don’t we get drunk and screw”
They do too, for I have worn them. < |:(~
Life looks good when...LOL!!!
LEVEL 5:
A waitress with fresh stitches comes over, and you think to yourself, “Someday I’m gonna marry that girl!!”
It’s the inhibition reduction that causes beer goggles. You don’t see them differently you’re just not as into the word “no”.
She'll have to get in line behind the stripper with the C-section scars.
Always check the literature before you publish.
Put another dime in the jukebox...
I’ve served my time losing track of the wine
Looking through red eyes at the blues
Holdin’ on ‘til the very last song
Tryin’ to make up my mind who to choose.
Chasing a dream in a whisky world
Down the neon avenue
And I’ve never gone to bed with an ugly women
But I’ve sure woke up with a few.
Ain’t it funny how liquor and the flicker of a candle
Make you see it from a different view
Oh, I’ve never gone to bed with an ugly women
But I’ve sure woke up with a few.
Been there, done that.
ROTFLOL
Was that before or after you chewed your arm off so you didn't wake her up in the mourning ?
