Mornin' All,
Purely out of interest, not something from a text I have to translate.
explanation - the more you've had to drink, the more attractive you find someone...
I'm sure there are other ways of putting it in English than "to drink someone pretty/beautiful"?
TIA,

Comment: "I don't remember hearing this expression before, but I've probably been in Germany too long. Thanks everyone, even to Chris for making that special extra effort (at least he tried :-)). James' "Beauty is in the eye of the besoffen" is good too."

German term (edited):
jemanden sch�ntrinken
'beer goggle effect' / to put your 'beer goggles' on
That's what first sprang to mind - but I am not sure how you would phrase it - or if it's exactly what you are after.

'Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder'
Pints on a bar
Scientists examined the reality of "beer goggles"
Beauty may be in the eye of the beer holder rather than the beholder, according to a new study by scientists.

Study: 'Beer goggle' effect a true phenomenon
By Kristen M. Neufeld email
Collegian Staff Writer
British scientists recently proved something that some college students say they've known for years -- that alcohol makes others seem more attractive.
In other words, yes, the "beer goggle" effect is real.
Academics in Scotland have found proof of the so-called "beer goggles" effect, following a study involving 80 students.
The researchers wanted to measure the infamous phenomenon by which members of the opposite sex become more attractive more alcohol is consumed.
They found that men and women who have drunk a moderate amount of alcohol find the faces of the opposite sex 25% more attractive than their sober counterparts.
Helena Christensen
Anyone can look like this after a few drinks!
The study also revealed there was no difference in the beer goggle effect between men and women.

Their looks would not have done for you
Without a drink (or twenty two)
So if you want that piece of a**
Then stand up straight and drain your glass
And if your favoured brew is Kölsch
Please do try hard to hold that 'bölsch'
