| No Beer Goggles A recent study by psychologists indicated that men no longer can use the excuse of having “beer goggles”. They found that men do not find women more attractive after drinking alcohol; they actually find them less attractive. They also claim that alcohol did not affect a mans ability to guess a woman’s age. The study took place in a bar in which there were 120 sober men and women, and 120 who have been drinking. They were shown a digitally altered photo of a 21year old, manipulated to show how the girl would look ages 18 and 29. The researchers found no different in age guesses between the drinkers and the non- drinkers or in perception of "beauty". Sparks Fly In response to complaints filed by dozens of state attorneys general, MillerCoors has agreed to stop producing its colorful combination of alcohol and caffeine, also known as “Sparks.” authorities were concerned that the mix of alcohol and caffeine could mask signs of drunkenness, encouraging young consumers to drink in excess. Sparks has 6.5 % alcohol. |
