Scientists: Alcohol Makes Others Better-Looking

London-

A Reuters news wire article today showed that scientists have finally caught up with the common man when it comes to understanding the proper uses of alcohol.

British scientists have found even modest amounts of alcohol will make the opposite sex, including scowling Mommies, appear better-looking.

The study of 120 males and females found drinking up to four units of alcohol -- about two pints (one litre) of beer or four glasses of wine -- increased the perceived attractiveness of members of the opposite sex by about 25 percent.

Its findings come at a time when Britons are increasingly binge drinking, leading the Professors of Matrimony to wonder whether uptight British Mommies are 25% less attractive than American Mommies and the additional drinking is effective at balancing things out.
