Beer goggles is a slang term for a phenomenon in which consumption of alcohol lowers sexual inhibitions to the point that very little or no discretion is used when approaching or choosing sexual partners. The term is often humorously applied when an individual is observed making advances towards, later regretting sexual contact with, a partner that is deemed unattractive, unacceptably scandalous, or repulsive when the prospect of sex is considered while sober. The "beer goggles" are considered to have distorted the "wearer's" vision, making unattractive people appear beautiful. Beer goggles are also known as "Stellavision", "Beerglasses" and "The Cider Visor".
A formula has, apparently, been devised to model this phenomenon.[1]
There have been a number of songs written about this, chiefly
Smash Mouth's "Beer Goggles",
Lagwagon's "Beer Goggles", and
Neal McCoy's "Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On".
Education
Some
police departments have literal beer goggles, which distort vision to an approximation of
drunkenness. These are used in education programs to teach people, often teenagers, about the dangers of
drunk driving.
