Alcohol does not always bring out the truth in people. It can cause people to act erratically, and possibly say things they would not otherwise say. Generally, alcohol tends to reduce someone’s inhibitions, making them less accountable for their words or actions. As a result, it can lead to people being more honest, but it can also lead to people being more reckless, cruel, or even dangerous. The truth that comes out can be both helpful and hurtful. Therefore, it is important to be mindful of how alcohol affects conversations and behavior.
