What to do when you get beer goggled!! Aka beer goggle effect

It's happened to some of us.  We'd like to forget it.  Some of us regret it.  And some of us have really messed up friends (AHEM) that like to remind us of our past deeds, sometimes at the most embarrassing moments possible.

Sadly, beer goggles afflicts over 80% of the population (totally made up number).  Why does it affect so many people??  Well, there are those that made really poor judgements on their choice of men/women and in realizing their poor decision, blame it on the a-a-a-alcohol ( baby ).  Then, there are people who get so drunk, they can't see clearly and then make out/hook up with the nearest guy (usually really ugly, balding, and has really bad B.O.) or girl (typically unattractive). 

First of all, I'd like to ask the friends of those who clearly have the debilitating disorder known as beer goggles, WHY DO YOU GUYS/GIRLS NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP THIS!!!  

I know for a fact (because I have done this) that I will recount a story of XYZ making out with ABC and saying, "omgg remember when you made out with ABC?  GROSS!" and start laughing, when I knew that night I could've prevented this.  But I didn't.  I should've.  And now everytime I see my friend shifting towards the back of a bar/club, I ask her, "Really???"  and if she thinks he's good enough and not ugly, then whatever...Just make sure that she's thinking with a clear head.  But, in all safety, please make sure you have a view of your friend at all times and try to have her come home with you!  Not all guys at clubs/bars are nice guys and a lot of them don't have good intentions!!

I've had beer goggles like twice in my life.  I try to forget it!!  But, sometimes these moments come up when you're having lunch with your friends or something.  It's especially embarrassing when they recount the story to someone they just introduced you to! 

Best thing to do in this situation?  Just pretend you have no idea what your friend is saying.  LOL.  Total betrayal, but so what?  Not everything that happened in your friendship is a free for all for everyone to know.  

Example:

Your Friend: "So, there was this one time when Sandy and I went to the club and she totally made out with this guy, ABC.  He was SO ugly!  We couldn't believe she did that!"

New friend: "omg really??"

Me: "Whose abc??  What are you talking about?"  [ in an all serious face.  bad liars, practice this]

Sometimes, this doesn't work.  But, if you keep reinforcing the idea that you were never there, your friend should get the hint.  If not...then...

PLAN B:

Me: "OHH you mean ABC?  Omg, he was a really nice guy!  You know looks aren't everything, you know.  He took me on the most romantic date afterwards.  He was so considerate and charming.  But, he had to go back to wherever he was from."

SCORE!  You're back on top.  :D

Besides...this could've been true.  Looks can be repulsive and scary sometimes.  But, even Shrek was a loving guy!!  Giving them a chance isn't a bad thing!  

Remember!  If you suffer from beer goggles, or think that this has never happened to you and will not happen to you...you are wrong.   It will.  Just like sex, practice safe alcohol drinking.  The only safe alcohol..is NO alcohol.  LOL.  

Though, that would ruin your fun and life experience wouldn't it??
