Alcohol can create beer goggles, making people view members of the opposite sex as more attractive than they really are. This can lead to embarrassing situations the next morning, as people may sober up and realize their mistake. Bars known as “meat markets” are popular for short-term liaisons, and alcohol can help people lose their inhibitions. However, as the night progresses, the beer goggles can come out, making people see unattractive or unattainable partners as more desirable. This can lead to regrettable decisions and even shotgun weddings.
Is there no limit to what a generous supply of alcohol can accomplish? One notable side effect is the creation of selective visual aids known as beer goggles. Beer glasses, also known as Stellavision or Cider Visor, are fictional lenses that supposedly make an intoxicated user view members of the opposite sex as more romantically attainable or physically attractive than they really are. As a result, both the hunter and the hunted may find themselves in a difficult or embarrassing situation the next morning.
It’s no secret that bars known informally as “meat markets” are popular destinations for those seeking short-term liaisons with a willing member of the opposite sex. The difficulty lies in losing enough inhibitions to approach a potential partner. This is where beer and other potent drinkables usually come into the picture. As a bar patron consumes more alcohol, they often become more sociable and less inhibited by fear of rejection.
As the night progresses, however, the herd can start to thin out appreciably and the beer glasses come out. Suddenly, a room that was once filled with 4s and 5s is now saturated with 8s and 9s on a hotness scale. Nothing has really changed in the real world, but for those who wear beer glasses, their chances of success have skyrocketed dramatically. A man or woman previously dismissed as unattractive or unattainable may now become the newest target on the glasses wearer’s social radar.
There have been a number of popular songs written about the unfortunate phenomenon of beer glasses. In general, an anxious but socially inept bar patron becomes extremely intoxicated and suddenly sees the world through rose-colored pint glasses. What he or she believes to be an extremely attractive companion when viewed through beer glasses often turns out to be anything but upon sober reflection the next morning. The results range from a shotgun wedding to an object lesson in the dangers of cross-dressing.
