“You look like I could use a drink” (or “You look like I need a/another drink”) is a jocular saying that has been printed on many gift items, such as T-shirts, bumper stickers and mugs. The saying has been described as one of the worst pickup lines ever, and it’s used when someone sees someone ugly at a bar.
