School children get beer goggles

is it bad that i think they sounds kinda fun..?

I wanna try!

In fact, I'd see it as a good way to get out of class and mess about in stupid glasses. Though, everyone's right, it has very little to do with drunkeness...

Complete and utter waste of time and money. Most kids will see this as a good way to get out of class for an afternoon and mess about in stupid glasses.

They don't sound very effective, blurry eyesight etc is such a small part of being drunk. Besides that, loads of teens are bound to like the glasses. Talk about counter-productive.

I get the distinct impression that the people pulling the strings on this initiative haven't thought it through. At all.

Who are the people that come up with these ideas?

"Let's show kids how messed up your eyesight gets when you're drunk, they DEFINITELY won't find it utterly hilarious and then go out and get drunk."

i took driver's edge when i was 16, a defensive driving class. a state trooper made us wear beer goggles and try to "walk the line" as if we were getting a DUI. when you're wearing the goggles, your vision becomes mirrored and kaleidoscoped... its actually nothing like being drunk.

i don't think showing these to young teens really helps to illustrate the point... at all. if anything, they'll just get their friend's older brother to buy them beer.

LOL.
Idiots.
I tried a pair of these on and it's NOT AT ALL like being drunk.
More like partially blind.
Being drunk is a lot more dangerous than not being able to see properly.
If you can't see you wont drive a car.
if your drunk and you think it's a good idea to drive EVEN though you can't see, you will.
Drinking is dangerous because it's an altered state of mind AND body.

Haha they had this effect in GTA!

I also used these in health class in high school, they do a terrible job at representing what it's like to be drunk

we did this in my high school. it was kind of funny but didn't make me feel drunk.

I never used these "beer goggles" but come on, your at school, bored out of your mind, looking for meaningful distraction, this is what they want! They're gonna put them on, and goof around, and laugh, and they will learn absolutely nothing from this.

I wish I had these! I could flirt with the female teachers and blame it on the beer goggles.

I remember wearing beer goggles in middle school 6 years ago. They were a poor representation of being intoxicated and do nothing to show your vulnerability.

Wouldn't it be weird if students decided they liked the effects of wearing the goggles around (much like they enjoy the effects of getting trashed) and these beer goggles became a public health issue.
