A survey of 80 Scottish students has discovered that men and women who drink moderate quantities of alcohol rate the opposite sex 25% more attractive than when they're sober (Orange news). Scientists at Glasgow University uncovered the finding by giving students just 4 units of alcohol (equivalent to 2 pints of beer) and getting them to rate 120 photos of the opposite sex by beauty.

In more alcohol news, one in five young Brits (aged between 18 to 25) go out socialising "with the primary aim of drinking to excess," according to a report by the Portman Group (an industry backed organisation promoting safer drinking).

"Drunkenness is on the increase and those getting drunk tend to be younger," Chris Bradford from London's Clubs and Vice Unit told the Telegraph.

"They are becoming the victims of crime as they are less concerned about safety. They put themselves in situations in normal circumstances they would never be in."
