Beer goggles and the morning after...

Ok i was just lying in bed when i suddenly thought of a party i went to when i was nearly 16 (im 18 now) and it made me giggle so i thought i would find somewhere to post it and get other similarly giggle-worthy stories. Now when i say "morning after" i dont mean when you wake up and see the person lying next to you, well at least not in my story!

So anyway, i was nearly 16 and at my first real teenage party. I had never really drunk more than an alcopop or two and although i knew that things happened when people get drunk that wouldnt normally happen in real life, i hadnt quite expected it to the extent that it was (e.g. people meeting for the first time and ending up in various bushes round the garden doing...well use your imagination!). I wasnt naive, i just creditted the people there with more sense than they really had lol. Anyway, i was new to the whole socialising thing (sheltered all girls secondary school :s-smilie:) and as i was a shy/quiet person anyway i felt really awkward. I didnt really know anyone except the host and a couple of girls from school and they all promptly disappeared into various bushes....lol. So i was wondering round like a loner, trying to find someone i knew. I went into the garage (where the "dancefloor" was) and got accosted by this guy in a leather jacket. He was very confident (or drunk lol) and he grabbed me and started talking in my ear and kissing me on the cheek. I was like "****! noooooooooo" like a rabbit in headlights and got away from him as quickly and politely as i could. So i was rather shaken with that sudden encounter (awwww bless!) and went desperately in search of someone i knew. I found a girl i knew talking to a couple of boys and went and joined her. They looked really like non-party people and i was grateful to find what appeared to be more sensible people. So i spent a while chatting to this one guy in particular. He was nothing special to look at and seemed a bit odd but it meant i wasnt alone! Then when that got boring i wondered around a bit more but each time i saw him he would say "hello, how are you?" to the point where i think he said it at least 10 times. I hadnt had much to drink, probably no more than 3 alcopops so i was one of the more sober ones. Anyway it got to like 3 in the morning and i went to leave and he accosted me and asked for my phone number and i gave it to him to be polite lol i'm one of those people that cant bear to say no. He grabbed my hand as i left and i had to sort of pull it away to leave but i thought "well i spose that was sort of sweet". Then i walked home (i only lived nextdoor!). But before i had even got in the front door he had texted me! I was like "eek!".

The next morning, i went round to my neighbour's to help clear up the mess. A lot of people had stayed over so there were lots of bleary eyed faces, including this boy (but i hadnt realised he would be there). So i walked in and was greeted by neighbour giggling madly and asking what i had gotten up to with this boy. I was like "nothing! he's a bit weird!" and she was like "ooooh go and talk to him, he's in the kitchen". So i went in....and couldnt even work out which one he was! Then i realised he was the one with the enormous glasses...so i tried to talk to him (well i was forced to as my neighbour ushered everyone out of the kitchen and shut the door!!) and it was like talking to a very unresponsive robot. It seemed that the only thing that livened him up was alcohol lol. After a few awkward silences, i managed to run away with the excuse that my mum wanted me home. I couldnt believe i was that unlucky! I had such low self-esteem at the time that i was like "omg that was the only person i could attract!". But the worst bit of it all....he didnt stop phoning me or texting me for 2 months after, asking me to meet him (which i had to make hasty excuses for everytime!). So the lesson to learn there is: only give out your phone number when you're sober!

I realise that story made me sound incredibly young, naive and sheltered...which i was lol but fortunately am not any more. Im also aware that that isnt actually a very interesting story lol oh well, i have written it now! Anyway, share your humourous beer-goggle stories!

i know, tell me about it! it did however make me laugh at 4 in the morning lol i think i was laughing at how young and naive i was for a nearly 16-year-old! But i was more hoping to invite some decent beer-goggle stories.....

So you stayed up till 4 in the morning to laugh about this? I'd hardly say you had beer goggles on seeing as you'd only had about 3 alco-pops.

I've never had beer goggles fortunately, considering I have been smashed many times..

it was a suitable phrase to excuse my appalling decision making at the time. i was however no way drunk.
And i didnt stay up til 4 to think about it, i couldnt sleep and the thought randomly came into my head and me laugh! Obviously a "you-had-to-be-there" moment lol.
Hopefully someone else will post a story more interesting than mine!

This is a friend's story, she had drunk a lot and was approached by a guy who looked like 'Orlando Bloom' and she agreed to meet him a week later after kissing him.

Then when she excited turnt up, she was greeted by a 35yr old man wearing a football shirt, harry potter comedy glasses and a moustache.

:toofunny:

the classic house party thing to happen.

Just give them a fake number.. They will never know..
Simple answer. Scenario: You're out wasted & pull what you think is a stunner, so when you wake up the next morning: dont look at him/her until you've had a big swig of vodka. Hey presto! Your mystery date will still look reasonably decent & you wont have problems with awkward silences at all. Keep topping yourself up as long as necessary.

Denial isnt always a bad thing.....

A bush in a bush is probably the best.

LOL , end up in a bush!? what kind of people did you hang out with
surely a bedroom, or pretty much ANYTHING is more comfortable than a bush

I have ended up in a bush but this is only by lack of coordination.

apparently the bushes were the "happening" place to be to get it on with someone you only met 5 minutes ago! What if it was a holly bush?!

Dude, you need to go to better parties.

better fun are ones where a girlfriend from like more than a decade ago turns up, gets you smashed off your face on aftershock and then shows you a "bush".

this didn't happen to me of course...
