Some jaunty Scottish researchers got together to study the “beer goggles” phenomenon (seriously, guys? Nothing more important you could be working on?), and it turns out the things are totally real.

Male and female students were shown pictures of members of the opposite sex and asked to rate them on a scale of 1-7 (sounds cruel, we know). The more students drank, the higher they rated the photographs.

It sounds to me like drinking actually just promotes kindness.
