On the rare occasions when sweet sentiments are sent or linked to us, we note they’re the rambling, incoherent compliments that only come from readers who are sober enough to type, but drunk enough to be honest.

In short, we’re read through beer goggles.

Hence we’re ecstatic to see the glory of the humble beer goggle brought to the world of optometry.

Chicago eyewear rogues Urban Spectacles of Wood, best known for their custom timber frames and vinyl ‘record specs’ (made out of your old vinyl records, obviously), are asking you to drink a couple of your favorite beers, box up the bottles, and send them in for your own bespoke beer goggles.

Seems they’ll even take accommodate prescription and tinted lenses, charge $250 and slip you a subtle warning about the fact they’re made out of glass and sit on your face (which, when combined with a few drinks, becomes a fascinatingly dangerous proposal).
