The Ryan Gosling tee by Reason Clothing apologizes for your beer goggles.

Ladies, we've all been there: you're talking to a [tall, blonde, handsome gentleman](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tough-guys-soft-sweaters) who's a dead ringer for your favorite actor, when suddenly, inexplicably, your [fourth white wine spritzer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schneaky-espresso-martini) wears off without warning and you realize that the dude you're talking to looks more like Chris Farley than Ryan Gosling. It's a painful moment; luckily, this shirt has got you covered, reading, "Sorry I thought you were Ryan Gosling" on the front. This makes for an easy segway out of a conversation you no longer want to be in: simply point at your shirt and back away slowly.

Remember, kids: alcohol can impair your vision, making the chances of you bringing home a regrettable one-night-stand unfavorably high. Take preventative measures with this [funny t-shirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-to-order).
