This is great. I do wonder about the few people who's appearance doesn't change after 3 glasses.

Clearly this needs to be expanded into a 5 glasses of wine project...The fourth glass is expressing your love/hate of everyone in the room, the fifth glass is just giggling.

Well, he sure sounds like a great lover.

Related. (At least tangentially.)

These folks must drink less wine on a regular basis than I do. Unless they used very large glasses.

That, or we all get affected more than we think we do?

The job of the second glass of wine is to make the third one seem like a good idea.

It's almost as if alcohol helps people to relax, loosen up and feel better in themselves.

But that's just crazy talk.

Someone needs to do this same series only for the following:

Before, During, & After:
- all you can eat sushi
- morning coffee
- watching the 1988 film Bloodsport starring Jean-Claude Van Damme
- playing Level 3 'Turbo Tunnel' of the NES game Battletoads,

I know its an artsy website because I had to enable like three separate layers of javascript to make it function! That said, it's a great project. Alcohol makes everything better! Until it doesn't, unfortunately.

Look, I know how much trouble three glasses can get you into.

I suppose the message is:

"Alcohol makes everyone happy!" ... or possibly: "Without alcohol, people are dull."

Not that I enjoy my regular glass of wine or three.

I just like how good everyone's hair gets.

I'm hoping heaven is filled with moderately tipsy Brazilian women.
