A new study has revealed that just one glass of alcohol could make people appear attractive to the opposite sex.
Biologist Marcus Munafo, believed that it might have something to do with the physical changes that occur in the face after the initial consumption of alcohol, such as greater pupil dilation, a greater level of muscle relaxation in the face or an increase in rosy cheeks, News.com.au reported.
These characteristics are often associated with good health and attractiveness.
What it means was that alcohol was sort of hijacking that mechanism, or promoting the aspects of facial features that people regard as attractive for other reasons, Munafo further added.
The study is published in the Journal of Alcohol and Alcoholism.
