But PERSONALLY i honestly dont think there is any way to know. I say this because i have recently been hurt by someone, a friend who i loved. The problem was i was in your situation "did he mean it"
Problem is I've realised theres no way of narrowing it down to some do others dont. As ive learnt that people will speak the truth when drunk about CERTAIN situations.
I have friends that chat utter crap when drunk but when it comes to a serious thing that they may struggle or shy away from when sober then the truth will come out when drunk.
Im sorry to say there is no way as it all depends on the person and situation. Whta kinda guy is he? is he usually shy? is he confident with girls? if not then it could be the truth. look at how he acts with you from now on and if any other hints are given maybe bring the subject up. I know thats not the easiest thing in the world to do but trust me its better to, I;ve learnt that the hard way too.
Just look at his actions and maybe spend some alone time with him...sober :) good luck

 Personally I always tell the truth when I am drunk and its usually things that I was too worried to say when I was sober. Judge the seriousness based on his actions to follow, like if he continues to talk to you or asking you out would be a big hint.

 It's impossible to narrow it down to what he truly meant. Every individual is different, and consequently, everyone reacts differently to certain things. Some people are more likely to tell the truth when inebriated, while others will just spew out complete BS.
If this is really bothering you, I reckon the best way to tackle this issue would be to ask him what he meant by what he said when he's sober, if he even remembers. If you don't really care to be in a relationship, then why bother imploring about it, as it might make him feel embarassed and will just make your friendship awkward. If you are interested in being in a relationship with him, then just ask him about it, and hope for the best! Hopefully it turns out the best possible way for you. Good luck

I agree with CaringGuy, however his inhibitions may have been lowered enough that the had the confidence to tell you. Alcohol is sometimes called liquid courage for a reason.
If it was serious, would that be a bad thing? If not, you may want to talk to him about it. If you don't share his feelings, you may want to forget it ever happened.

Not always. Some men say the truth, some talk complete rubbish. I wouldn't take a drunk man's words seriously.
