No, I sure don’t get smashed or bombed on alcohol to enable situations whereby one might divulge truth or not, or put myself in a compromising position, or socialise with strangers if I chose to drink alcohol.
But then I ask why do some get so wasted and tell what they believe to be the truth, only to regret it the next day, say sorry and that what they said was never meant?
I’m not talking about those who are alcoholics here, different story altogether.

Thanks very much for your input. Consuming copious amounts of alcohol is not frowned upon as much here in Ireland as we're a culture of drinkers, as you know. I'm not talking about alcoholics here either, more having one or two too many on occasion.
I can't use my own judgement or experience, as I've talked a lot of bull being drunk before and revealed way too much. Would like to hear the majorities opinion on this though.

Talking nonsense when twisted with booze can be funny, as I’ve known a few who were hysterical.
All depends on what you revealed and to whom and at what stage they decided to take it seriously or not.
(MysteriousGirl80) I think some of us (I’m one, occasionally) tend to let our hair down, get somewhat maudlin, etc…especially in a group of people we’re normally comfortable with. I do believe I generally speak from the heart (I don’t attach myself to people I don’t care for, drunk or sober) and if and when I start to get too superfluous, I leave, rather than embarrass myself.
MysteriousGirl80: That's the problem I'm having, someone revealed something to me and I don't know whether to take it seriously or not
Surely that depends upon the nature of what was revealed?
If it was a confession to murdering someone, or the intent to commit a serious crime, then perhaps take it seriously enough not to sit on vital information.
If this person did the 'I really, reeeally love you' routine they probably do on some level, or another, but maybe wait for them to provide a version with a little more clarity. A little tactful prompting might oil those wheels once the alcohol lubricant has worn off.

My life's not that exciting , but your reply has been very helpful.
Depends on age and maturity. When I was young I would open up honestly with anyone and everyone while drinking. When I got older I would be way more reserve with what came out of my mouth.
I can't talk about it from my own experience because I do not drink. But I've talked to lot of drunk people. So the statement " What's on the mind of a sober is on the tongue of a drunk" is correct.
