Bars are opening across the country and many restrictions are being dropped — and it just so happens to be the holiday that most inspires people to get complete hammered drunk. What could go wrong? If you’re a single dude looking to go out and enjoy some drinks to celebrate this Irish holiday – let us share a little tidbit of science for you:

According to a study out of Australia, 50% of men feel sexier and more attractive when they’re drunk. Although the legendary “beer goggles” problem has been known to find men waking up to “grenades,” apparently the goggles worked on themselves as well! 

We call it ‘liquid courage,’ and the extra confidence isn’t necessarily terrible.  However, as the drinks get stronger and the eyes get more lidded and the advances get a little too aggressive, that’s where the trouble lies. Which is why it makes sense that the study also noted that “only 3 percent of women think drunken men are attractive.”

So take a few sips of that liquid courage, guys, and then switch to soda water with lime. Trust us!
