What do you think?

Is drunk talk to be taken seriously?

    Almost 30 years sober here. It's been very nice not having to worry about what I said when drunk. :)

    I absolutely believe this. Haven't had a drink in many years but when I did, the truth was so much easier to say, good or bad, with a little bit of liquid courage.

    Yup. Sometimes I drink just to be able to approach hard topics

    It also depends quite a bit too.. given different circumstances and whatever is that you're referring to with the post

    Its really easy to BS as well as it is to get stuff off your chest

    Not 100% of the time. Often pertains to the subject at hand and if the person has a vested interest in the outcome. I've seen many a drunk person tell a girl they wanted a relationship, knowing full well the definition of that relationship was for that night only but I'm sure that wasn't how she was defining it. At times it does offer moments of honesty. Just can't take it to be 100% sure. Usually the interpreting person is putting their filter on it too and what they want or interpret it as may be entirely different than an unbiased 3rd party.

    Hmm..sometimes.

    Sometimes it's what the person really thinks and alcohol is their courage or lack of filter.

    But sometimes it's just meaningless crap. Like girls in bar bathrooms when they're drunk will tell each other how much they love one another or how good you look. LIES. Really they can't stand each other and alcohol has blurred the lines of how you really feel.

    That said better than the way I put it lol

    Oh the old courage in a bottle.. I have been an overly happy and an overly sappy drunk.. I have said way too many things, been way to honest and done too many things I would not have other wise.

    I think the answer depends on the individual, their current frame of mind when drinking, their current environment.

    Yes, I hate that people use the excuse "well, I was drunk" So? If you smash up some one's TV while drunk is it magically fixed when you sober up? No? Same with words. No matter how drunk I get, I will never say racist *kitten* because that's WRONG, I'll never laugh at rape jokes, because it's WRONG.

    The sloshy musings of a drunken stumbling slob who, after a few more vodka rocks, would fornicate publicly with a fire hydrant and then pass out, face down, in the gutter. And not remember it the next day as they laugh it off like nothing happened. Wherever that "truth" is coming from, it's not from the Spirit of Truth. Another spirit possibly, yes.

    This is awesome!

    Yes I would take all of drunks words as how they really feel. Why because it removes all inhibitions, So they are going to give you the brutal truth, with out worrying about consequences.

    Sometimes they tell the brutal truth, sometimes they are full of *kitten*. It all depends on what you ask them and when.

    if it crossed a line, always. i don't give out 'but i was drunk' free cards on that. on the other hand if it's just ordinary maudlin-stage havering, i don't take it seriously until i hear it repeated sober.

    i'm not interested in living or hanging around with people who are drunk, and it takes me four or five years to kill a six-pack. so what people claim to feel in that state isn't much use to me. i've known too many people who seem to feel there's no correlation and no accountability because 'i was drunk.'

    I've never been drunk & I am not shy or have any shame sober but I'm physically cautious! So I am unafraid of what, I'd say but terrified of what, I might do; like go rock climbing without a harness because I'd possibly believe, that I'm invincible!

    This.

    If you already had such a strong opinion, why did you ask?

    Even stone sober, I have no filter.

    If I drank..... well, it wouldn't be pretty.
