Alcohol Can Make You Feel Prettier, Study Finds

If you've been feeling a little down about your looks lately, having a drink (or just believing you've had a drink!) can make you feel more attractive, according to a new study.

French scientists have conducted two experiments indicating that the more alcohol you think you've had in a day will increase your self-confidence in your appearance, even if you haven't had any.

The Agence France-Presse reports the scientists conducted one experiment in a local bar where 19 people were asked to assess their attractiveness on a scale of one to seven. Their alcohol levels were then measured, and the results were pretty interesting: the higher the amount of booze that was drunk, the higher the self-confidence of the testee.

5. They needed to do a scientific experiment about this?

I guess the next experiment is to find out if rain wets the grass, dirt, pavement, whatever it falls on.

9. (or just believing you've had a drink) How about if I just pretend I've had a few?

I'll just say to myself "OMG I'm sooo wasted!" as I get ready for my day.

What a relief!
