Thoughts

And no, I don't mean like beer x-ray specs or beer probing lenses. The title of the post reflects a situation where a friend turned her beer goggles on herself at the wedding I attended this past weekend (details of the wedding to come later).

To keep this somewhat clean...you know, for the kids...I will try to be as delicate as possible. The star of the show was a Miss E. Gordon, no wait that's too obvious, well call her Erin G. At the reception post wedding, towards the end of the night (A/K/A she'd had a cocktail or two), she made a comment to a small group of us who stood nearby (and anyone else in ear shot).

"When I drink they get bigger," she said as she looked down her own dress.

This would lead to one of the following conclusions; two schools of thought if you will.

1. The Beer Goggle Phenomenon, by which the more you drink the more attractive people seem, is not an excuse at all but rather a naturally occurring event. As if the alcohol you drink really makes other people attractive, but only until you wake up next to them.

2. The young lady in question caught a glimpse into the world of every man (and some women) she has ever been seen by at the bar. For that time on Saturday, however brief, she understood what happens when we go back for another round; "liquid enhancement" I like to call it.

I am guessing that option #1 is less likely, so in reference to #2 all I will say is that, if it makes you feel better, Erin, when I drink they look bigger to me, too. Well, I would say that, but you know me...all eye contact all the time. I am interested in women for their depth and substance.
