reader, anonymous, writes (1 February 2009): Last night i went out with my boyfriend, he was a bit of a drunk and starts talking about marriage, Firstly he ask me to talk with my parents first. He is a quite a bit strange of being a sweet conscious guy when he is drunk,and serious, i guess. so on the following day. i told him that i have spoken to my parents about what we have discussed last night, he said.. what did we talked? he started to laugh. do he still said half meant or just pulling around? NOw, i don't believe him when his drunk!

A guy that I really cared about told me he lived me when he was drunk and I asked him the next day if he remembered what he said when he was drunk! Of course he said YES.....however what else would he say! He won't call now. Did he blurt out his true feelings and is now just running scared because he said it?

 My experience with drunk people (I do not get drunk) is that the only constant is that
Drunk people do not care about the conquences of their actions. Honesty is irrelevant in this context.

my experience with drink usually amplifies my emotions so...i like you + drink = i lurve youuui dont like you + drink = what are you lookin at? wanker!i have ruined a few early relationships with girls i liked but didn't want to rush into anything with.i felt like i had set the fireworks off before anyone was ready.

 Hmm, i tend to say things i want to say but normally wouldnt, like, if there was a girl i had a thing for, my emotions would get the better of me and id spill the beans so to speak. So i would agree that people do tell the truth when they are drunk, BUT might regret it, meaning they didnt think before they spoke, so what was actually a small thing came out as a big thing, because if the higher emotion level, and can blow it way out of proportion.

There's an expression I've heard, 'pub talk', which is really an acknowledgement that things said under the influence have some basis in fact but if they aren't expressed in more sober circumstances are unlikely to become real. For example, people in a pub might talk about how great it would be to take a trip, to share a flat, to start a business but in reality these things won't happen - it just sounds good at the time and they enjoy speculating.

Moral?? finally bf did own up to cheating with gfs friend for past 4 months, but apologises for gf finding out the way she did. Do drunks tell the truth? listen really carefully to what is being said and in what context, dont ask what you dont really want to know,it may suprise you!

Being drunk just makes you say things without filtering and thinking about them first. So what you say is definetely what you feel AT THE MOMENT. I don't know if you could call that being more "honest". It's definitely you saying what you think at the time you're thinking it....which isn't always good. I'm known for acting before thinking...even when I'm sober, and it's not always good. Cause many times, you need to review the situation and analyze it...and you'll find you'd tag your initial feelings as an overreaction.
Why do you think people have the excuse "oh well I was drunk"...lol

reader, anonymous, writes (15 October 2006): Being drunk lowers inhibitions so a person might do or say things that they normally would not do based on social mores or their own morals in essence out of chracter for them,,,so it is not the same thing as telling the truth exactly....I don't think you can put a lot of stock in words and behavior coming from a drunk person...because alcohol changes who they are temporarily, so it is not fair to say they are more truthful, they are just uninhibited, which is not the same thing as being truthful. A person's truth includes all of a person's character including their morals, and how they would normally behave in a civilized society...Hope that makes sense.
