#1 Drinking Wine Mimics Health Did you know that there's a study showing drinking booze actually makes you appear more attractive to the opposite sex? Researchers found consuming alcohol does this by "mimicking" how a healthy person appears physically.

#2 How Does It Work? A study done at University of Bristol in the UK, revealed having a large glass of wine "increases" a person's "facial flushing." Professor Marcus Munafo, a senior researcher at the university, explained the skin's rosiness "is attractive because it characterizes good physical health characteristics."

#3 Research Guildlines University of Bristol conducted a controlled study on 40 heterosexual male and female students who were asked to rate the attractiveness of a subject in either of 3 groups: sober, tipsy and drunk.

#4 Research Findings Researchers consistently found the "most attractive" selected subjects were in the "tipsy" category, who had downed a glass of 14% wine (equal to 1/3rd of a bottle). Subjects who were either sober, and those who had "too much" to drink were rated far less attractive than a "tipsy" subject.

#5 Too Drunk? Further the study noted that, "too much booze leads to 'excessive and unattractive' changes in facial expressions." Professor Marcus Munafo mentions, "..higher levels of consumption may reverse the 'attractive factor.'"

#6 First Study Of Its Kind Even if you're not a scientist, you've likely noticed the "beer goggles" effect? That when people start to think others look better after they've had a drink or two. But this new study for the first time suggests that the person doing the drinking looks better too, to others, or there's a "reverse beer goggle" effect.

#7 Alcohol Consumption Levels Sometimes it's hard to stop drinking after just a couple, right? The amount of alcohol to achieve the coveted healthy and attractive "glow" is somewhere in between the extremes of not drinking at all and drinking too much. For some 1/3rd of a bottle of wine may be too much for their systems depending on their weight and height, but if it improves our chances of pulling a date, it's sure worth figuring the formula out.
