If you worry about the effect your daily glass of wine is having on your looks, it's time to relax, because scientists have revealed that alcohol makes you beautiful.
Reseachers at Bristol University asked a group of sober students to rate photographs of another group of students, who had consumed different levels of alcohol, on how attractive they looked, the website Livescience reported.
The photos taken after just one drink has been consumed were judged as more attractive than the sober photos. But if students drank more than one glass, they were rated as less attractive than when they were sober.
The scientists said a single drink could make people more attractive because it caused facial muscles to relax and pupils to dilate.
It could also cause rosy cheeks, a marker of good health.
