Study Assesses 'Liquid Courage' and 'Beer Goggles'

Wake Up With Cheddar

And you've probably heard the term beer goggles, liquid courage. Well, a new study took a deep dive into issues like alcohol attractiveness perceptions and partner selection. Researchers affiliated with Pittsburgh University and Stanford University looked at a group of 36 men in their twenties. It found after drinking alcohol, the men were 1.7 times more likely to talk to people. They found attractive. Surprisingly, surprisingly though it found the alcohol did not impact how good looking they considered other people. So the study confirmed the concept of liquid courage, but apparently beer goggles, not so much. The research was published in the journal of studies on alcohol and drugs. Michelle you and I go out enough often enough. What are your thoughts here? Um It's really interesting. I mean, liquid courage is, I think a, a common phenomenon. I think we're all a little bit more chatty and more open when we're drinking. I'm a little guilty of that for sure. The beer goggles thing I thought was really interesting that it's not actually true, but I mean, if says so I should, I mean, we should mention this is only 36 men. So this is a huge pool of people in their twenties and your twenties. You're young, you're going out all the time. There are different factors. I would like to see more, obviously, more men but a bigger age group too. In this, not just guys in their twenties we'll see. All right.
