So how does that work with your allllohoolll = truth serum theory?
I found that no matter how much alcohol i drink, my 6'5" bearded stalker is not going to turn into Salma Hayek...but still, I don't believe it is truth serum.

Now that, I believe. I've seen it, I've done it, so I can say that for certain.

I'm not talking blackout drunk but a little buzzed or feeling good if you've told someone of the opposite sex you weren't in a relationship with how much you love them and we're flirty etc was it something you just said but didn't mean or were these feelings you always had but were afraid to express sober?
Hardly, I'd say it distorts things more than anything else. You may have a small crush on someone, but if you drink, that can be amplified and you could tell them you love them. Or if you're annoyed by something, when you drink it could cause you to go into a rage. There's a reason people often regret things they say and do when they're drunk and it's usually not because what they said/did was so refreshingly honest.

It's pretty simple, drinking clouds your judgement and you don't have the same decision making capabilities as you do when you're sober. The best rule of thumb is to take what someone drunk (or buzzed) says with a grain of salt. And if you're drunk, do your best to try and keep your mouth shut (and your hands to yourself).

It makes anything you could have on your mind come out, this doesn’t immediately include truths or proper statements

I don't know about the truth, but I've been told that in the few times I've been drinking I resort to telling corny jokes.

I've heard it referred to as Dutch courage.

Either way, each act of courage acts as a killer of brain cells. I wouldn't take the words of a drinker as anything serious or worth noting.

But I agree with HC that actions speak louder than any words, drunk OR sober.
Yes. No one ever does anything while they're drunk that they don't want to do sober, except throw up.

And that goes for words. Alcohol reduces inhibitions, and so people say things they wish they could say sober but their inhibitions warn them not to.
