People are more truthful when drunk, but also more boastful, more bigoted, less inhibited, and stupider. What you see when someone is drunk is an other aspect of them for when they are sober, but neither aspect is the whole truth.
-
Absolutely. I think that because drinking reduces inhibitions, it brings out what people really want to say, but usually don't in the confines of daily life.
-
Yes i think people speak the truth when drunk,and say they dont rememeber saying it or say it was the drink talking just to get them out of a bad situation.
-
yes, I think that when people are drunk they speak the truth. A wise person once said, " a drunken man never tells tales." This means when a person is drunk they are acting on their true feelings,the only difference is that when they are drunk they don't care for the consequences their actions may bring like like would when their sober.

No, I don't think so. I think that their brains are so impaired that they don't know the difference between truth and fiction - they might babble on about something about which they have no knowledge, but that doesn't make what they say 'the truth.' It is well known that alcohol removes inhibitions, but that doesn't make you tell the truth. As for expressing feelings that we wouldn't normally give voice to, it doesn't make them more truthful than what we would normally say; alcohol just makes it easier to express some of the ambivalent feelings we all have in our daily lives. 'In vino, veritas' sounds nice (everything sounds better in Latin) but that doesn't make it true.

yes. i had a boy who is really shy say that he had strong feelings for me for 3 years when he was drunk. We were friends before and everytime I see him when he is a little tipsy or drunk, he says that he likes me, etc. has always liked me. He also says that he is shy and was too bashful to say it before. Its true, he doesnt speak that much when he is sober. However, while this may be true, deep down i think he just wanted to get in my panties after a while. So I started to ignore anything he said about how he liked me, wanted to be with me, and respected me because when he was sober, he acted distant.

I think one has no inhibitions and speaks the truth when drunk.They blame the booze because they feel sorry that they told the truth.
-
Not necessarily. I think alcohol removes some inhibitions, but if you are an untruthful, manipulative person and usually have ulterior motives sober, that will also hold true drunk..unless you're so drunk that you pass out. I would not, therefore, trust anything that a drunk tells me.

My uncle once told me that alcohol amplifies ones emotions. I think there is truth in this. When drunk a person is more willing to state their opinions and in a more aggressive manner. I can give first hand testimony to this fact. I am guilty of this occasionally. I do not however blame it on alcohol. I suppose some do. I am not perfect by any stretch but I will take responsibility for what I say or do and not look for excuses.
-
I think some people, when drunk came speak more truthfully, and tell the truth. Their inhibitions make them less conscious to say what they are thinking. So yes, i do think that when you are drunk you speak the truth. Some might blame it on the drink after, if they have regretted a situation. Although they will always know the situation was fact.
-
Yes, there is an old saying that a man gets drunk to speak his sober mind, meaning that you are more able to speak what you are thinking and feeling when you are drunk. So I believe to some extent, drunk people do tell the truth.
-
Yup, I do. Of course, booze will not turn a compulsive liar around regardless.

People definatly speak the truth when there drinking.I had an experence a couple of days ago where i went out, got drunk and I blacked out. I dont know what happened but i think that I probably cheated on my bf.A friend told me a little bit about the night,how I was saying how this guy,(who is also friends with my bf)was so fucking hot and how I wanted to fuck him.I was drunk and I dont remember any of this,but he is hot and I did wanna fuck him but i would NEVER say that to him.I would NEVER do that but I wasent just drunk I was blackout drunk. I dont remember anything for about 4 hours!Anyway I do blame it on the drinks.I had NO CONTROL over my body.
-
Yes i have much reason to believe this is so.

I have a gay friend, we've been friends for almost 5 years now. Although he is gay, sometimes we feel a bit too much close to each other as if we are in a relationship. Now, to answer this question, he told me that he got drunk and he vomitted 3 times and while he was drunk, he eagerly wanted to sit down and started reading all my messages I sent him, what does this mean? He doesn't know why he did that. Does he like me or it was just an effect of the alcohol?
-
Sometimes yes and sometimes no. It is different for different people. I have heard a lot of ex-drunks talk about that. I used to be a drunk and my resentment would build up whilst withdrawing and I would blame everyone for everything, and when drunk it would come out in a distorted half truth with me taking very little responsibilty. In fact it wasn't the drink, but the me who was affected by it. When drunk, I could very easily fall into a state of well being where another person would become way more attractive to me than if I had been sober, and I didn't have the sense to shut up about it. I am way more honest these days, sober OMG, I just saw the date of this question. I beg your pardon.

Alcohol certainly is not a truth serum. It simply makes some people less inhibited - to say and do things they probably wouldn't do otherwise; and then blame it on the alcohol.
