BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. - Police in the Chicago suburb of Buffalo Grove are asking for the public's help in returning a $150 pair of special goggles that are used to simulate the effects of intoxication.
Officers say the goggles disappeared this week from a table at a National Night Out event at a local park.
Officer Hector De La Paz says police believe the goggles were taken by accident.
Sometimes called "beer goggles," the special glasses are used by police to demonstrate to high school students and parents how alcohol impairs a driver's vision and judgment.

Reminds me of high school. Cops came in and gave a lecture on the evils of drugs to a large auditorium. They passed around 4 baggies of marijuana, with a stern notice that they wanted them all back. They got 7 bags back.

2 beers gains you confidence.
4 beers makes her appear like a celebrity.
7 beers makes her appear like a supermodel.
12 beers and you might wake up with another dude.

Memorable cartoon from Playboy circa 1970....
Dawn breaks outside hotel window. Guy leans over edge of bed, obviously having just awakened. Form of second person is in bed behind him, still sleeping. Guy's face looks horrified. two pairs of men's shoes under bed.
Caption....."Uh-Oh".

He’s not drinking alone.
With that amount of alcohol, his drinking friends for the moment are Jesus, Patton, Napoleon, King Arthur and Marilyn Monroe.

These are "Fatal Vision" Glasses, I used them for demonstrations with school kids when I was the SRO (School Resource Officer) I also used them for alcohol and drug education for parents guardians and grand parents.
We had a blast with them. Yet they really are spendy for something that looks so cheap. They also have them for simulated night time influence.

I wear mine when I’m drunk. Under those conditions they simulate being sober. Works great.
