How to Make Your Own Beer Goggles

Make your own beer goggles with a paper towel roll and a rubber band.

It's not a secret that drinking an excessive amount of alcohol can make you do regrettable things, especially if the drinker is wearing "beer goggles." Beer goggles are a well-concocted theory about invisible eyeglasses that make a beast-turn-beauty after the consumption of alcohol. However unrealistic it might seem, according a study performed by psychologist at the University of Bristol in England, after about 15 minutes of drinking, there is a 10 percent increase in ratings of attractiveness. Need a pair to legitimize your next "blame it on the beer goggles moment"? Beer goggles are relatively simple to make.

Things You'll Need

• Paper towel roll
• Scissors
• Rubber band
• Tape
• Twist tie

Instructions

1. Cut a paper towel roll into two 4-inch pieces. Discard the rest.

2. Cut one large rubber band in half.

3. Punch a hole with a pair of scissors on the inside of the paper towel roll where the roll will touch the bridge of the nose. Pull a twist tie through and twist. Leave about 2 inches of space between the goggles. This is the eyeglass part.

4. Punch a hole on the opposite sides of each paper towel roll with the scissors. Connect the two by tying one end of the rubber band into a knot on each side.

5. Tape the outer portion of the paper towel roll.

Tips & Warnings

• Beer goggles are not meant to look fancy.
