While some argue intoxication makes others seem more attractive, a new study suggests this is not the case. Instead, drinking alcohol makes people more likely to approach someone they already find attractive, according to the researchers.
They visited the lab on two occasions, once when they both received alcohol to drink - up to about a blood alcohol concentration of .08%, the legal limit for driving in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and the United States - and another when they received a non-alcoholic drink.
However, according to the findings drinking alcohol may affect how people react to those they find attractive in a different way.
