This might be a first.......let's see if I can't arbitrate this a bit:

High beam is slightly more visible on a day with bright sunlight (or mostly bright) and, with your eyes already conditioned for the bright light, there should be no reason for it to "blind you".
HOWEVER.........
Under circumstances of LOW light, including times when headlights are required by law, high beams are not a good idea, partly because of what Alan said and also because it would be illegal.
(Guess he said that too!)
