Beer Googles - Formula

An = number of units of alcohol consumed
S = smokiness of the room (graded from 0-10, where 0 clear air; 10 extremely smoky)
L = luminance of 'person of interest' (candelas per square metre; typically 1 pitch black; 150 as seen in normal room lighting)
Vo = Snellen visual acuity (6/6 normal; 6/12 just meets driving standard)
d = distance from 'person of interest' (metres; 0.5 to 3 metres)


"For example, someone with normal vision, who has consumed five pints of beer and views a person 1.5 metres away in a fairly smoky and poorly lit room, will score 55, which means they would suffer from a moderate beer goggle effect."

A formula rating of less than one means no effect. Between one and 50 the person you would normally find unattractive appears less "visually offensive".

Non-appealing people become suddenly attractive between 51 and 100. At more than 100, someone not considered attractive looks like a super model.

So there you go the science behind beer goggles, or you could just bring a torch.

Beer goggles enhance the fun! That's a great find by the way... I'm gonna learn that and try to use it when I'm out.

My perfect vision ensures I have to drink more to be on a level playing field with my myopic brothers.

Damn. Those night-vision goggles I got for Christmas are pretty worthless now that the secret is out.

Though a surprising number of women look good in green.

Nice story behind that scene, each day they had to use greener and greener makeup because it didn't show up on the screenings. they couldn't figure it out. And the poor bastard who was developing the films was trying everything he knew to get the tones right and each day it just got worse and worse. No one told him she was supposed to be green and so he was freaking out and performing miracles trying to get a normal skin tone.

Sure if we didn't haven't beer goggles we wouldn't get laid as often. Best thing to do is quietly roll out of bed in the morning and be on your merry way. Don't even bother with the morning quickie. At least this way you will go home safe in the knowledge that you didn't go to bed with a minger.
