Korean Researchers Explain the Science Behind Beer Goggles

I just have to wonder how much money was spent on this?:

What is it that makes members of the opposite sex more attractive to people under the influence of alcohol? Is it just impaired judgement? A team of researchers led by Cho Hyun-gug, a professor of visual optics at Kyungwoon University, say the reason is that alcohol consumption decreases vision and makes faces appear less clear.  [Chosun Ilbo]

Click the link if you want more details but this is not exactly groundbreaking research here.  I think South Korea will have to wait yet another year for their chance to win a Nobel Prize for Science.

    I get the feeling they didn't use blind men as a control group. I mean, it's not as if the impaired judgment and lowered inhibitions caused by alcohol could have anything to do with it, right?
