Why are you devastated? If you were that smashed you may have been wearing massive beer goggles and he wasn't all that to begin with. Anyway, he's gone now so forget about it. I'm not even going to bother typing the obvious solution to this problem...

Ah now, OP, a bit of perspective. So you met someone and had a drunken kiss and they seemed sound...but you were also hammered. You're right, it's tough to find someone. It's even tougher to meet someone on a night out, because I'd say the percentage of people who still like the people they have a drunken smooch with 6 months later is incredibly low! (Like if I had to guess I'd say we're talking a per cent of a per cent here) You've absolutely zero idea if you'd like him the next day, or if he'd like you and wasn't just as loved up on the sauce, so fretting about this to the point of calling yourself 'devastated' is (sorry) ridiculous.

Take the lesson, though, and watch what you drink on a night out in case something like this happens again. I find if I go out wanting to meet someone, the ideal amount for me is 3-4 pints, so I'm sober enough to have my wits about me and actually be a decent, charming enough guy, but also loosened up enough to be able to have the craic if anyone comes along. Know your limits, move on and for god's sake stop beating yourself up over nothing.

Have a pint of water between drinks at the end of the night- works wonders
