Berkeley Goggles is a slang term used to describe the phenomenon where someone perceives another person as more attractive or desirable than they actually are due to the influence of alcohol or drugs.

This slang term originates from the University of California, Berkeley, where it is said that the consumption of substances like alcohol or drugs can alter ones perception of reality, including how they view the attractiveness of others. It implies that while under the influence, people may find someone more appealing than they would under normal circumstances.

Example 1: “Man, I had a few drinks last night and suddenly everyone at the bar had Berkeley Goggles on! I couldn’t believe who my friends were suddenly hitting on.”

Example 2: “Be careful with those Berkeley Goggles. Don’t make any impulsive decisions while under their influence, as you may wake up regretting it in the morning!”
