Researchers at the University of Bristol, one of England's premier universities, have uncovered evidence that a moderate amount of wine can enhance your attractiveness. As wine enthusiasts with years of experience reviewing studies on alcohol's effects, we find this particularly compelling.
The Experiment
Participants were photographed three times in a controlled setting: sober, after one drink, and after two drinks. A group of sober judges then rated the photos for attractiveness.
Results on Attractiveness
Nearly all raters found the subjects most appealing after one drink. Alcohol relaxes facial muscles, creating a natural, healthy blush that boosts perceived beauty.
Drink in Moderation
Beyond two drinks, attractiveness plateaus. Instead, others may start appearing more beautiful to you.
