I'm afraid you can only blame yourselves for your poor judgement, not the alcohol.
The survey mentioned in the Telegraph report covered only 240 men and women, who were asked to "look at photos of women and comment on their age and attractiveness". Looking at photos!? Not quite that same as being absolutely plastered and horny and picking up any willing sexy girl in a nightclub. I have conducted research into getting drunk and getting laid over thousands of nights across many countries. Personally I always have exquisite taste in women (meaning, I've never worn beer goggles), no matter how inebriated I am, even near the end of a three-day bender; but I've observed many other fellows with alcohol-impaired judgement. Or perhaps they're just desperate and lacking standards, and they're so pathetic they need the booze to be brave enough to approach ugly women. After doing the subsequent "walk of shame" with the unfortunate female the following day, they invariably blame "the beer goggles". Yes, it probably is a myth. But the survey's methodology sounds rubbish.
The weirdest phenomen is the one where many, many men seem to think they're far more attractive than they really are. 
It seems to work the other way round with women.

I don't think that that has anything to do with alcohol though!

I get that whether I'm sober or drunk.

Dolly, I think the two are related.
Certain (and by no means all*) men do over rate themselves as any woman who's ever used a dating site will verify! Then in the morning the same men feel their conquest doesn't match up to their 'perceived' standards and blame the beer, when in fact they'd actually got quite lucky!
* None of this applies to men on this site of course.

Do you need a junior researcher?

Unfortunately, 10 years of this research into hard-core hedonism (which also involved chain-smoking) failed to yield significant financial remuneration. I've actually become a celibate* teetotaller (which is why I'm wasting time online) and will remain so for two years to give my abused body a chance to recover. Alas, the brain damage seems irreversible.

I am one of those men, I think I'm gorgeous. So does Mummy, so it must be true.
