This may be the liquor talking, but subby is one fine piece of ass...

Mythbusters did it.

It's not "Beer Googles" per se, as in ugly girls look better when I'm drunk.
It's the "I don't give a fark" affect.

Dr. Horrible: Inability to correctly perceive facial symmetry while intoxicated doesn't really explain why someone would go home with a shambling land whale, though.

Yeah, it's not just "facial symmetry." There's also the fact that alcohol suppresses inhibitions, like socially-created expectations of what's attractive. Do I want to date a fatty? No, because other people will disapprove. If I no longer care what society thinks and I'm looking for a quickie, then it's suddenly fair game. I'm only basing this off my own experience, though. I worked with a woman who was plumpish but extremely pretty. We got drunk one night and hooked up. Afterward I still thought she was pretty but I didn't want to follow-up that one night's actions at all.

Being drunk only shifts people from "meh" to "let's do this!" I've never had it shift my willingness that far outside of what I might normally consider.

That pic never gets old! LOL

Didn't Mythbusters already do that?

Dr. Horrible: Very true. Also, one of the effects of alcohol is "impaired judgement," which can result in fairly poor decision making.

Which would explain why, this weekend, I tried to remove a christmas tree from a plastic stand using a flame thrower.

Call it what you will, but Mr. Penis trumps Mr. Brain every time.

I fail to see where the poor decision is in that scenario .

IMO, The typical person is on average 10 to 20 times more of a perverted dog than they openly attest to. Booze provides the double whammy of both impaired judgement and public excuse to act outside one's perceived social mores. Drink up and nail your 75 year old overweight aunt, I don't care, don't tell me about it.

Done and Done.

Yes they did, about 3 or 4 years ago. Jamie is a funny drunk.

Fat girls have big titties.

ITT: people who, on a normal day of Farking might rant about GOP presidential hopefuls rejecting science, use their personal biases to reject science.

The researchers' data shows a strong correlation between intoxication and an inability to pick out flaws in peoples' appearance that would be disqualifying for sexual congress when sober. Perhaps, in future tests, they'd take the same face morphed on a scale of 1 to 10 from "too skinny" to "no... more... pie" and see how peoples' preferences changed with increased consumption.
