SCIENTISTS have proved beer goggles really exist.
And it’s good news for ugly blokes as it takes just one drink for them to turn into Brad Pitt in the eyes of the ladies.
Psychologists say booze can “level the playing field” between beauties and the beasts.
It can lead revellers to find themselves chatting up uglier people they wouldn’t normally give a second glance.

The idea has long been dismissed as an urban myth.
But the findings back up what many of us have suspected for years, booze really can turn the plainest person into a stunner.
Prof Derek Heim of Edge Hill University in Ormskirk, Lancs, where the study was carried out, said: “It’s remarkable the participants were only mildly intoxicated. This suggests it doesn’t take much alcohol at all for people to put on their beer goggles. Our research adds to the body of evidence showing there is some truth to this anecdotal wisdom.”
In the first study of its kind, students in bars and pubs were shown images of faces as they worked on a computer.
Around 80 had been boozing while the other 40 undergraduates were sober.
The sober ones only found the attractive faces hard to ignore – whereas the drinkers were equally interested in everyone available.
Dr Rebecca Monk said: “Intoxicated people were equally distracted by attractive and less attractive faces.”
