No shit!
As if they needed to do a scientific experiment to find this out.... Also I think Dr Munafo needs to throw his ethics out the window.
“Beer Goggles” Increase Attractiveness
A few stiff drinks really does make other people appear more attractive, according to researchers who say the alcohol makes us think about sex.
A test on drunk university students has scientifically proven what was common pub knowledge - that drinking improves the appearance of those around you.
A team from the University of Bristol in England conducted a controlled experiment on 84 young heterosexuals, getting half of them tipsy on a drink and asking all of them to rate the attractiveness of people in photographs.
Both drunk men and drunk women rated the faces as being more attractive than did those who were sober, according to New Scientist magazine.
Surprisingly, the effect was not limited to the opposite sex, as drunk volunteers also rated people from their own sex as more attractive.
Dr Munafo said he wanted see whether the "beer goggle theory" still applied when a person was so drunk they could no longer focus on a face, but he was constrained by study ethics.

Makes you wonder how you get paid to do such studies. I read that an ig-nobel award was won by a man who did a study on the objects removed from people's bottoms in emergency rooms. More important and valid scientific research.....
i've relied on the old beer goggle effect most saturday nights for the last 10 yeeeeeeeeears...
