I used to hear that drunk people speak the truth...and then I had to deal with a parent who sadly struggled with alcoholism (and has since conquered) for many years, and I can say that it's difficult for a person to even speak coherently when drunk, much less speak the "truth". And, since I have unfortunately been drunk on a few occasions in my life, I can say that when drunk, it feels like having the flu. Speaking eloquently is not easily done when lying on a cold bathroom floor, hanging onto a toilet. Drinking a bit with a very trusted friend "on occasion" can indeed be fun, just as having the freedom to open your heart and soul to a much-loved friend can be almost a spiritual experience. The selection and appreciation of fine wines and liquors can be an art and one of the more enjoyable pleasures in our earthly lives...it enhances fine food and can make a dining experience even more memorable. But drunkenness is most miserable, indeed. For everyone.
I feel I've already answered the question, but just to be perfectly clear: Being drunk does not enhance the communication of truth. To be truthful requires a clear head. It is my experience that being drunk can make a person quite cruel, emotionally or physically abusive, and downright ugly. It can distort a person's appearance as well as their thinking. It's a destructive force upon a person's physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health and can destroy the best of families.
As far as the gender of the person in question, that is a ludicrous statement and another example of a sad generalization....of which there are many. |

There is a saying in latin "In vino veritas" meaning drunks speak the truth, I don't believe it, all that happens is peoples normal reticence to speak their mind is usually reduced by the effect of alcohol, some people get belligerent, other people mellow, I know -alcoholism runs thru both sides of my family |

No - and that goes for guys or gals. In my experience, a drunk person will say anything to get what they want or to smooth over an argument. It depends on the situation. I think that they may have less inhibitions and say things they wouldn't have said sober because they have the "courage of the alcohol" in them, but other than that, I think they can be more manipulative to persuade you about something than they would if they were sober. |

Sometimes... It's not true all the time... Sometimes drunk people lie or exagerate because they are too drunk to know that you won't believe them... |

No, that's just an old wives tale. Some people do tend to be a little more relaxed and unihibited while drinking. This leads to blurting things out before thing about what they're saying. However, think about a drunk getting stopped by a cop...they lie to the cop and say they weren't drinking. Think about kids coming home drunk..they lie to the parents.
It's a good idea to take whatever a drunk says with a grain of salt..they can't be trusted.
Good luck |
