on the plus side, at least I was alone

How's that a good thing?

on reflection I was wearing beer (or in my case - vodka) goggles.

[Potjeh]

He couldn't have been *that* ugly

[Kerryann]

Lol, lets just say, he's not my type.
Also, he works for me - which is not going to make it at all awkward for the next few weeks -

It's already pretty uncomfortable

I've never understood beer goggles. People look exactly as attractive or ugly as they are, both sober and drunk, in my eyes.

Agreed, but personally I'm far more likely to lean over and casually start making out with someone who is ugly when I'm drunk rather than when I'm sober. Beer (vodka, definitely vodka) goggles are more like beer uninhibitors to me.

*on second though, uninhibitors is a bad word and could mean that I was previously inhibited from some kind of desire to make out with ugly people. Perhaps it's more like Beer Bad Wing Mens. Or Beer Don't Worry Man, It's All About Getting Back In The Games.

I could use a drink now.

Well it's undeniable that alcohol and good judgement don't go hand in hand. Yet I was under the impression that people with "beer goggles" actually perceived a person they'd soberly consider ugly to look better. Not that they think "oh well, whatever" but actually convince themselves that they are happy with their catch.

On the other hand I could have misunderstood the whole thing, but then it should be beer judgement and not goggles ;)

Personaly, I think it's a combination of the two. The poor guy in question is by no means 'revolting' but personality and looks combined, just simply not for me - however, the more I drank and the more he flirted - the more i thought 'maybe' - luckily acohol over-rode every thought and rendered me practicaly comatose!
Not a pretty sight i'm sure - but a safer one, imo.

Agreed, alcohol will never make me settle and break my "no fatties" policy!

[Potjeh]

Yeah, I can't really notice the difference either, in my case because I'd do anything that breathes even when I'm sober
