Increasing beer consumption to eight pints (2.8 litres) increases that score of 140, leading to a severe beer goggle effect.''
It would also lead me to severe snoring. Now, back in my Bad Ole Daze

...the beer goggles effect refers to how having too much to drink can make someone you find repulsive suddenly exude all the charms and allure of a supermodel... It's really not that complicated.
The simple explanation is: "Men are pigs."

Even when I drank a LOT I don't think my
"Old Charter goggles" worked that well.

I quit drinking a couple years back Willie and 5 barmaids lost their jobs. The tragedy of it all almost made me go back to drinking.

The poll showed 68 per cent of respondents had woken up the next morning regretting giving their number to somebody who they later realised they weren't attracted to.<<
Fugly is not the standard. Coyote ugly is. If you are willing to bite your arm off, to avoid waking your new partner, then you have a story.

Don't the Girls All Get Prettier at Closing Time Chorus:
The girls all get prettier at closing time
They all begin to look like movie stars
The girls all get prettier at closing time
When the change starts taking place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the falling angels of the back street bars.
If I could rate'em on a scale from 1 to 10
I'm lookin' for a 9 but 8 would slip right in
A few more drinks and I might slip to a 5 or even a 4
But when tomorrow morning comes,
And I wake up with a number 1
I swear I'll never do it anymore.
Chorus:
The girls all get prettier at closing time
They all begin to look like movie stars
The girls all get prettier at closing time
When the change starts taking place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the falling angels of the back street bars.
--- Instrumental ---
Now, I don't mean to criticize the girls at all
I know Robert Redford, even overhauls
We all picture in our minds a girl that looks just right
Ain't it funny, ain't it strange,
The way a man's opinion changes
When he starts to face that lonely night.
Chorus:
The girls all get prettier at closing time
They all begin to look like movie stars
The girls all get prettier at closing time
When the change starts taking place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the falling angels of the back street bars.
Of the falling angels of the back street bars...

It isn't that alcohol makes ugly people pretty. It's that it makes you not care how ugly they are, so long as they have they appropriate orifice.

I think "beer goggles" has more to do with too much brew causing the brain to respond more to feedback from the "little head" than the eyes, than it does any complicated scenario of lighting and environmental effects. Have the dweebs never heard the old saying "any port in a storm"?
