Beer goggles a myth?

beer_goggles_3.jpg
We’re all drinkers (now that the Good Dog quizzo is over), and so we are all familiar with beer goggles. They are the reason we drink, so that by the end of the night, we are no longer discerning when it comes to practicing mating. But alas, do beer goggles really exist? Researchers in England say no: Beer goggles are a fallacy and women actually seem no prettier after drinking, a study suggests.
‘There was no great difference – the men were just as undiscerning as ever,’ said Vincent Egan, the lead researcher.
Oh, so beer goggles are just an excuse we give our buddies when we go home with someone who looks like that lady from Britain’s Got Talent, and not based on fact? Not sure, because this research reached a completely different conclusion than research conducted on the same topic last year. However, both studies agreed on one thing: women do have beer goggles, as they find men more attractive after a few drinks. To which I say: “Ladies, keep drinkin’!”

You Simply Have to See This

For those of you who have never seen Fastball Pitcher Bob Gutierrez and want to laugh your asses off, I highly suggest you make your way to the Chip Chantry One Man Show tonight at the Khyber (2nd and Chestnut). There were literally 10-15 people crying they were laughing so hard the last time Bob appeared on the show, myself included. Well, by extremely popular demand, Bob is back on this show this month, and he’s going to be giving a motivational speech and take questions from you, the good people of the audience. The cover is $5, and this month all of the money goes toward the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Show starts at 8:30 sharp. Hope to see ya there. Seriously, trust me, you really want to see Fastball Bob.
