Researchers have shed new light on the age-old concept of “beer goggles”, debunking the popular belief that alcohol enhances attractiveness perception. A study conducted by Stanford University and published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs has shown that alcohol does not influence how attractive people find others.
The research involved 18 pairs of men who consumed roughly three standard drinks in a little over 30 minutes. The participants were asked to rate the attractiveness of individuals of the same age in photographs and videos, both while sober and under the influence of alcohol. It was found that the male participants’ attractiveness ratings remained constant, regardless of their sobriety levels.

These lyrics reveal “beer goggles” to be an Overton Window of acceptability that slides downward with the number of drinks; it also quantifies it, but specifically only for the author… YMMV.
A more valid methodology for the Beer Goggles test would be to put three reasonably attractive young men in a room with an objectively unattractive woman (determined beforehand, of course, by the young men’s own reactions to her while sober), and then keep feeding them beers until they hit on her.
I imagine every man has his own beer goggles intake requirements, so guy #1 might take 6 beers, guy #2 takes 8 beers and guy #3 might have to pass out in his own vomit before he decides to make his move.
She was a 2 at 10 but a 10 at 2.
