If you are going to get literary on me I will say in defence of my phrase that it is much superior to 'beer goggles' because it allows for gradations and "beer goggles" don't. With beer goggles you would have to have a carrier bag full graded for "rosy glow" coefficient and keep changing them.
They don't really get the proper effect of gradual reduction in taste and discernment operating unconsciously. And you would look daft stood at the bar with a pair of goggles on. The comparison doesn't stand up to literary scrutiny. The beer coat works because you've had a skinful when it's needed.
It's a cliche anyway. Out of VIZ. The intellectual's comic.
Oh no, these are special beer vari-focal goggles, with the new 'Reaction' lenses...
Look down - you can still focus on the beer
Look up - see the laydees in all their splender
The more you drink, the more the lenses react, the more splendiferous the laydees become.
It's all science really - them there Beer Vari-Goggles are intellegently designed for men.
But they work on laydees too.
