many years ago, an older person told me that when someone is way too much under the influence of alcohol, whatever pops out of their mouth is what they really think (about you, etc)...
since I'd never had much experience with the subject before, can someone tell me if that's true?

Sometimes people want to do or say things while they are sober but they can not build up enough heart to do so they get drunk ( gives them BALLS)
Alcohol, like stressful situations, doesn't change character, it reveals it. As has been mentioned before, our judgement is impaired under the influence. We will act on impulses we would have pushed aside if sober. However, actuions under the influence, like actions when sober, don't reveal all of our character. There is something to be said for the things we control when sober. For example, a person might say something they later regret because they acted without thinking and it's not their, normal, nature to hurt someone they love. The alcohol takes away the controls but the controls are part of who we really are.

My father (now deceased) was an alcoholic. And I pretty much agree with the notion that alcohol will make a person speak their mind.
I have heard many times over the years that too much alcohol can REVEAL a persons true personality or unleash their inner inhibitions.
I think this just might be true. I know that I myself have done things in my younger years that I would not have done without alcohol unlocking those self contained bounderies that I knew better than to cross.
Thankfully, those actions never caused any serious harm to myself or anyone else but I know I did some things that I would never have done if I hadn't let alcohol unlock the door that I wouldn't have ordinarily opened. They were a few times I saw a part of me that I didn't like. Something inside of me that only came out when I had too much and didn't even realize was a part of me.
Thank God, I learned when to quit and not become someone I didn't want to be.
I'd have to ask each individual if they regret anything they have said while under the influence. Some people just get stupid when they drink, say things they think are funny but are hurtful and later regret it. Some people get mean when they drink and could really care less if they did any harm. All drunks are not created equal.
Courage in a bottle. I suppose it's mostly true from what I've seen. Though there are times people will say things they absolutely don't mean, because under the influence they may be easily angered. We've all said something we didn't mean while angry, and if you are an angry drunk rather than a happy one, you may say things you don't mean. I guess you have to know what kind of drunk you are dealing with.

I would say that they are apt to saying the first thing that pops into their mind.
People have limited communication abilities to begin with, and alcohol can impair this - so they are apt to blurt out a half-baked thought. So on one hand, yes the things they say are typically true, but I think of it as a fragment of their thoughts, not a complete picture of "What they really think of you."
