Love on Drugs?


Is love better intoxicated? A friend of mine said that she thought her husband was funnier today because she was Valium. She had just had a procedure and was enjoying the benefits of the relaxer for the first time. But it did bring the thought to mind- Are beer goggles necessary every once in a while to spice up a relationship? Granted there are times in our lives we enjoy the occasional drink to relax and then there are times when we need the drink to get through the day. But I must I admit that sometimes the occasional drink suddenly introduces a new facet of my spouse I had not seen before and that can be quite sexy.

Alcohol is a funny companion to sex as it’s really a depressant but then I’ve seen some people do some pretty bold things drunk they would never have never done sober. I remember one Mardi Gras in New Orleans where a friend I've known since I was five went absolutely bonkers for beads after chugging boilermakers. The pictures are out there… which is probably why she probably won’t audition to be a reality show contestant any time soon. She is now a respectable wife and mother but say boilermaker and she turns beet red. 


The question remains: Can one too many make you fall in love anew?
