Beer goggles” are partially due to impaired perception of symmetry.
Facial symmetry is among the features that we’re least able to notice once we’ve been drinking, according to a study in the journal Alcohol. Researchers sought out and tested drunken bar patrons, giving them a breathalyzer test and asking them to examine 20 pairs of photos for facial symmetry and attractiveness. Sober patrons were more attracted to symmetry and were more accurate in judging which faces were symmetrical. Drunken patrons ceased to rate symmetry as attractive, as they’d lost the ability to detect it. Women were more prone to this loss of perception than men.
