Umm, I think beer goggles don't just affect attractiveness of faces. Flawed study. Time to fund a new one!
Guess they gotta do it in America to get it right. Plus, the drink warm beer in England. Invalidates the results. Silly English.
flawed study for sure, beer goggles is about lowered inhibitions that would have otherwise prevented you from shagging some hambeast, not how you feel about pictures of women on a page. If anything, I'd say that a properly lubricated tongue is just letting these guys be more honest about how they feel about the pics. Sort of like how if some homely girl posted her pic online, people would be more likely to call her ugly from the safety of an anonymous web forum* than they might if they were face to face.
Replace "from the safety of an anonymous web forum" with "after drinking a gallon of liquor" and you've got the results of this study.
