Do you lower your standards when drunk?
Poll
So do you lower your standards?
So I went to a party this week and lets just say some alcohol was consumed 
and suddenly I noticed that I get WAY more attention from guys when they are drunk. The thing that confused me is to why that is 
So I narrowed it down to two possible reasons:
1/ The notorious beer goggles theory, where suddenly anybody and everybody looks attractive and you suddenly start to consider people who previously you had condemned to the "friends only" catergory of life
2/ The alcohol gives you more confidence theory , where you actually don't particularly lower your standards but you just get to the point where rejection somehow doesn't matter.
I personally do not think that I really lower my standards but instead I fall into catergory 2 and simply get more confident.
but what about you people? It's something that has really really really been bugging me so any opinions/ thoughts would be much appreciated

yes my standards to lower when im drunk, which is a serious understatement. Yes, when i'm drunk i dont give a toss about anything, i'll happily go up to someone and comment them on having a nice pair, or nice lips etc, also i'll go up to random people and start singing with them and talking to them about nothing. i also laugh at everything.
Im nothing like that when im sobre.

Yep probably right, but I wouldn't know, i've never been drunk
yeah i know exactly waht you mean!!! last nite we were all taking the piss outta this girl (you know what its like when theres one drunk girl and five blokes.... lets just say i can almost see how rapes occur....) and i think we all knew we were being out of order but who gives a toss????

Exactly mate, at the time you know its gonna feel really gay when you wake up, when i was on holiday and got really pissed i was going up to the security gaurds in the hotel telling them i loved them and how i wanted them in my bed, i knew id get up to go to the restaurant in the morning and feel awkward, but hey, pfft
sebbie
haha i was in a pub about a year ago and a mate bet me that i wouldnt 'partyboy' this random bloke who was dancing on the dancefloor.....
to my continued regret i did and he still has the evidence on his phone.......

yeah ive got tapes of what i did on my camcorder, but im not sure i'd be able to handle someone else recording it, when the spreading around of it was out of my control, get it back mate, save yourself your dignity At some of the stuff i look back i cringe with embarassment.
Profesh
Yup; but it's academic.
Actually, following repping you, I've changed your mind. Your overuse of the semi-colon is both inaccurate and irritating.
^ I like her.
Beer-googles are nowhere near as effective as shotglass-goggles.
I think I develop some form of blindness once I've started drinking. Either that, or I don't bother looking up from my 5'4" vantage point, and don't find out what 'charming specimen' I attacked until I'm politely informed by my friends the next morning.
Alcohol induces aesthetic ignorance. That's about it for me.
