#Goggles

Alcohol changes not just jokes about “beer goggles” but how men approach potential partners. In Thailand’s vibrant nightlife, drinking can increase willingness to engage with more attractive people even if initial judgments of attractiveness don’t shift much. This nuance matters for real-life flirting, conversations, and future social plans in venues from Bangkok’s nightlife districts to Pattaya’s beaches.

New findings show alcohol lowers inhibitions and raises willingness to pursue desirable partners, rather than universally boosting everyone’s appeal. For Thai readers, this means action can outpace perception, making prudent behavior and clear consent more important than ever in social settings.
