What I mean is do you believe that when a person is drunk they are more likely to tell you the truth or if people use that as an excuse to be more open and not feel like there being judged because they are drunk? Im just curious.

Drunk people are probably more likely to tell you the truth, as when it comes to the next day, they can blame it on the alcohol.
Also people feel far more confident when drunk, therefore are more open.
Personally, I hate being drunk now, it brings nothing but trouble, and terrible headaches.

Alcohol is a legal drug that, when taken to excess, enhances your mood. If you are a naturally happy and outgoing person, you are likely to be more outgoing. If you are unhappy, it may appear to give you courage, but it actually is making you more aggressive and hostile. People who are drunk often make little sense because it loosens inhibitions. The loosening of inhibitions can also be misinterpreted as courage, or as being funny. There 's, however, nothing funny or courageous about excessive inebriation. It slowly destroys you, but fools you into thinking you are performing better as it does so. By the time you figure it out, it is almost too late.
Let me tell you a little story (I know I am long-winded). When I was volunteering at a mental health facility I often brought cigarettes. I smoked a little and the patients smoked constantly. One night a man sat next to me and asked for a cigarette. He looked at me and said, "What's your name? How are you? Nice day we are having." I answered him and agreed as I lit his cigarette. As he puffed he turned his head and scanned the room, about 10 or 15 seconds. When his head turned back to me, he shuddered and said, "Hello, what's your name? How are you? Nice weather we're having?" He repeated this as long as he sat there. He never seemed to remember that he had just seen me and I had volunteered for two years. This behavior was the result of severe alcoholism.

Yes, I believe alcohol is liquid courage.

No, I think a drunk person has no self-control or common sense.
