Beer Goggles No Longer a Valid Excuse for Men

Jacksonville - According to a recent study by psychologists men no longer can use the excuse of having “beer goggles”. The study showed that men do not find women more attractive after drinking alcohol, they actually find them less attractive. Also, research found alcohol did not affect a mans ability to guess a woman’s age, therefor can no longer blame alcohol for underage sex.

The study took place in a bar in which there were 120 sober men and women, and 120 who have been drinking. They were shown a digitally altered photo of a 17 year old, manipulated to show how the girl would look ages 13 and 20. The researchers found no different in age guesses between the drinkers and the non-drinkers.

“Beer goggles”, or altered perception from excessive drinking, is occasionally considered by jury’s when deciding on cases of underage sex. Researcher’s are now saying “beer goggles” should not be considered as a defense. Males can no longer have a decent excuse as to why they engaged in underage sex, as “beer goggles” is no longer a valid reason.
