Why? Because a survey said that consuming alcohol actually made one perceive the not so good-looking as beautiful
The next time you think the woman (or man) standing next to you could just be the single most attractive looking person in the bar, gulp down gallons and gallons of water. Alcohol distorts a person’s vision, making unattractive people appear beautiful, or at least passably attractive.
When it comes to alcohol, some say the more the merrier. However, that just leads to more mistakes. “I’m too shy around woman and having a couple of beers makes me feel like I own the room. Well, I don’t mean to sound so creepy, but yes, every girl in the room starts looking hotter and within my reach,” says 26-year-old software engineer Tarun Bhadari. While experts believe that alcohol stimulates the brain that plays an important role in attraction, is it really a different level of confidence that you gain? “Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. It affects your higher functioning. While alcohol does lead to ‘disinheriting’, and a certain amount can help you relax, crossing the threshold of being in a normal state would make you lose control so much so that you don’t really care who is in front of you. With lack of better judgment, you wind up doing things inappropriate because while you may think you are aroused, your sexual desire and libido completely dies out,” says consultant psychiatrist Dr Hozefa Bhinderwala.
Sexual inhibitions or not, alcohol is another reason why you could easily fall under someone else’s false impression or give out one. “The uninhibited approach makes you feel a lot more euphoric. While you lose control, more than your true nature, you perceive things differently and this could just lead to morning blues for a long time,” says sexologist Dr Rajan Bhonsle.
“Rather than making the opposite (or same) sex look pretty, alcohol lowers your inhibitions. It’s easier to submit to something you want at the time. That’s why you see people are their honest best when they’ve had too much to drink,” says Meenakshi Dalal who’s regular at many bars in the city. While we explore the potential of losing our higher thinking, rationality and of course our physical balance, alcohol might just be on its way to becoming the true little regret pill. Your call “while you may think you are aroused, your sexual desire and libido completely dies out”
