Are drunk people more honest about themselves?

[OddBeMe]

In vino veritas? Or does being drunk make you do things you wouldn’t do?

Drunk you is the honest you

Drunk you isn’t the honest you

Here for example, there is an interesting article about be drunk and be different.

At the beginning, each participant had to self-assess, by a questionnaire, the difference he/she perceived between the self under alcohol and the normal self, both in terms of actions and feelings (as a matter of course, he/she filled it in sober). Two weeks later, the field experiment: the participants are divided into rather small groups comprising real friends and placed in a context very similar to a party. Half of them receive drinks of vodka and lemon soda (with alcoholic amounts commensurate with each person's size), for the others there is a placebo, without alcohol.

The task is to interact during the party and, when needed, provide guidance and answer the researchers' questions. In particular, by making judgements about themselves and others.

The result surprised everyone a little. According to the research, drunk people perceive their alcoholic and normal selves as two distinct entities. Yet the researchers (aided by their other friends, those with the placebo), refute this. After observing them in the experiment, they concluded that the character and personality of the drunk friend are always the same.

I remember years ago being taught about the Parent, Adult, and Child parts of human personas. Alcohol depresses the Parent part. In fact, just one drink or beer does a job on this part. This is why I WILL NOT enter a bar or nightclub with a person I know that starts fights and develops a big mouth. As a person consumes more and more alcohol the Parent part goes to sleep and the Child part gets stronger. This is also why so many people blame alcohol for cheating. I'm not sure a drunk is any more "honest" than they would be cold sober, but for sure when drunk the higher functions of the human brain are asleep.

As someone who lives in that state and is an alumni of that school. Let me just say that piece of trash needs to be kicked out of school. Human garbage.

The first effect alcohol has on the brain is lower inhibitions. Alcohol doesn't make you do things, it just takes your mask off.

This incident being in the news everywhere is insane, ridiculous and more obvious proof that the media hates and is against white people. The media wants to ruin this girl's life because she's white and they want all the crazy people to harass her. Reverse the races and this story would not be shown everywhere, and no one would care. The liberal media is the enemy of white people.

Nope. Alcohol lowers the inhibitions. Resulting in stupid decisions.

Universities are corrupt racist institutions.

It's who they really are with or without the alcohol
