A pint and a half of beer can produce the effect – and in men it may last 24 hours.

In the study, volunteers were randomly allocated a vodka and lime or a similar tasting non-alcoholic drink.

About half an hour later, both groups were asked to rate the attractiveness of 20 male and 20 female faces on a seven-point scale.

Those who had been drinking alcohol scored the faces about 10 per cent higher than the non-drinkers.

When the groups were tested again the next day, the men who had drunk alcohol still gave pictures of women higher ratings than those who had not.

Sadly, by the time they get that drunk, they're usually puking their guts out.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
