They say that beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, but thanks to new research you can no longer blame pulling a 4/10 on the five pints you’ve just necked.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have disproved the theory, claiming that alcohol has zero influence on whether or not you find someone attractive.
