so wise
Drunken words - truth or nonsense?
I’ve heard that people generally speak the truth when they are drunk. However, I think they are mere mumblings of a madperson.
Por ejemplo
I recently met a friends father, and in his drunken state he told me that:
Now while some of ^that^ happens to be true, I’m sure that they were mindless chatter from a drunk old man. He might not even remember meeting me once he’s in his right mind.
That’s just one example.
I generally don’t pay drunk people any mind. But perhaps I’m missing some pearls of wisdom. (yeah, right)
So, are drunk people oracle’s of truth?
Have you ever overlooked the words of a drunk person, only for them to end up being worthy of attention?
Have you ever taken some drunken advice or a tidbit of drunk information, and it worked in your favor? Has it ever worked against you?
Are your drunken words worth remembering?
Hell, most sober words are barely worth remembering.
What are some funny things you’ve heard lately from a drunk person? If nothing else, they are quite entertaining.

I tend to exaggerate when I am…tipsy.
I like you becomes I love you.
I am mad at you becomes I hate you.
Although, usually if I tell someone I want to kiss them…it’s ’cause I did want to. lol

Most of the drunk folks I know are belligerent drunks lol. So that would be a NO on them being wise lol.

I’ve little recent personal experience with drunk folks, but when someone says something - drunk or not - I still hold’em responsible for it… until I’m given a good reason not to.
Sure, I could say, “Well, she was drunk,” but there’s always some potential excuse like “Well, he was really tired,” “Well, she had a tough day at work, today.”
I don’t know which one is a factor and which one isn’t, so I go with my gut and then let the truth come out if and when it ever does.
