Hi everyone would like your opinions please, do you believe that when somebody is a bit drunk their true feelings come out, does the fact that inhibitions are dropped make it easier for someone to say or show how they really feel. Thought it would be interesting to see what you all think about this, thanks!

I dont know. my boyfriend tells me he wants to marry me and that im his world and that im beautiful. He says this when hes sober too but he gets really in depth with it when he's drunk. Im scared because i already fell in love with him before and he screwed me over. I dont know. If it is true someone let me know.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (22 July 2008):

In general, no, it doesn't mean your true feelings for somebody come out. I have been wasted and still lied through my teeth.

Let me explain. Like when I am drunk I might be more open about MY OWN personal life and say things about myself that I wouldn't normally talk about. Like if you are with a drunk guy who is talking about HIMSELF and his past, then yeah for the most part, he might be less inhibited and so brutally honest. I have had guys tell me some WEIRD things about themselves when they have been drunk, that I know for a fact they would have NEVER said sober.

But as in letting someone know how they feel about them when they are drunk, that's very different and not at all reliable. I have been drunk and lied through my teeth about how I felt about someone that night (and then woken up the next day in horror at whats laying next to me.) And, in the same way, I would not trust what a guy tells me his feelings are for me if he is drunk. Don't trust what a guy tells you when he is drunk. Never. Unless you know him real well, of course. But that a person's true feelings for somebody come out when they are drunk is the biggest myth I've ever heard.

Manximus agony auntNo, I do not necessarily believe that their true feelings come out, but 'other' feelings do.

I think that a person can become over emotional and irrational when they are drunk. They tend to be much more open about things, but the feelings are generally distorted and can occasionally be offensive.

I have a bad habit of texting my exes and confessing my love for them when I am really drunk, I am sometimes sexually flirtatious with my female friends, although I often do not remember it the next day. I wake sometimes up and check my outbox every morning with sheer terror on my face.

It can be good sometimes though, because it can help you to say something that has been on your mind for some time.

Having said that, every person is different and the alcohol affects different people in different ways. It is easy to generalise this situation, but it really depends on the individual and the level of intoxication. I don't think there is any definitive answer to this question.
