Why do people say that when you are drunk,,you see and talk the truth?

Question

like in Mel Gibsons case, I like to see if that beleif will have any merit at a rehab facility, any alcoholic or adiiction spoecialist will tell you that if anything alcohol clouds judgement and confuses the emotions, like when people have one night stands with people they don't even like

The liberals and the minorities are always looking for racism ,, so they can say see,,whitey is still an oppressive devil,,like Al sharpton as if moinorities where any better

and Cosmo Kramer is not a racist either, he was just pissed at some dude

Answer 1

There is a Latin phrase, "In vino veritas", meaning, "in wine there is truth." The idea is that alchohol tends to remove inhibitions and loosen the tongue a bit. People under the influence will say things, and express feelings and opinions they normally would keep to themselves.

Answer 2

People who are under the influence don't think about what they say before they say it. A sober person might think something, but because it's rude or something most people wouldn't like, they either don't say it or think of a better way to state it. Sober people also tend to see what they want to see. When you're drunk, you can't put the effort into not seeing something, or thinking about what's said before you say it. So therefore, being drunk brings out the truth.

Answer 3

The reason everyone is skeptical of Mel is that he uses racial hatred as a technique for making millions. http://www.humor-and-jokes.com/Celebrity-Jokes/Mel-Gibson-Jokes/ Turn the tables on Mel. Joke away, at the joker.
