How DRUNK is "beer goggles"?

We've all been guilty with the drunken hook ups. But we've also been guilty of the drunken hook ups that look like they've been not only smacked by the ugly stick, but thrown at the ugly wall. Even now as you read this, you're suppressing one of the if not many drunken kisses in a corner of a seedy club. When the strobe lights are turned off, music is shut down and the alcohol flow is cut off, you open you're eyes-- and really open them and finally see who you've just played tongue wrestling with for the past hour and a half.

Disappointment painted all over your face, you turn to your friends for support and their pissing themselves laughing and making kissing-suction sounds. You shudder as you turn back to your so-called-conquest for the night, give a polite smile and when they aren't looking run in the opposite direction. "Beer goggles" strike again!

Which comes the mystery of, how drunk is beer goggles, vodka goggles, contreu redbull goggles and so forth? There is obviously a line that you cross that makes you believe that the person that you're hooking up with is human. But where does that definitive line come from? Do these "goggles" actually handicap your vision, or is that one drink that pushes you from drunk, to a person with no standards?
Usually with a blog entry, a friend or an acquaintance of mine would star in it but really, everyone at some point in their lives has had these goggles impair their inhibitions and has spiraled them into the joke of the group till the next idiot got too drunk and made the same mistake.

These metaphoric goggles have baffled man-kind since alcoholism itself. And remember, if you're hooking up with someone that you think is way out of your league? Chances is they probably are, and you're their drunken mistake.
CHEERS, bitches!!
