What's the general consensus here? Do people truthfully speak what's on their mind while inebriated. Under calm/low-key situations? Under crazy/party situations?
It loosens you up. Depending on your reactions to liquor and just how drunk you are, you may very well "tell-all". Personally, I have had those weepy deep-dark-secret confessions whilst totally fucked, but at a nice medium level I've still managed to stay aware of what's coming out of my mouth and filter appropriately. Who you're with and what you're doing/discussing are certainly key factors.
well it has had a few effects it certainly gives me more confidence sometimes to much . gets me in a emotional state breaking up with my ex makes me verbally Abusive = a police caution see above It`s also been suggested I become a pain in the arse after several beers. Dont we all
It gives me a lot more confidence which makes me go around talking to random people in a club (im usually shy). I then feel embarrassed the next day, after remembering it and being told by friends :icon_redf. I almost came out once when drunk to a friend, luckily I held it back.
Alcohol lowers your inhibitions. That's a fact. From what I remember, what that actually means is that you're less motivated to exert cognitive effort. In your context, that means people are less likely to "think twice" about what they're saying. It doesn't guarantee what everyone is saying is honest, however. And whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is in the eye of the beholder.
Thanks for all of your responses. So lets say someone told you how they felt about you while a little drunk? Say it was something positive and made you really happy. Would you accept what you were told as the truth or... merely the alcohol and the alcohol alone speaking to you. Again, the situation is calm/low-key.
I'd be inclined to believe it, but if they person won't open up about it sober after that it's a bit hopeless.
I'd discuss it with them when they were sober - if they deny it ever happened, there's not much can be done.
