    What are you talking about? Alcohols ability to lower inhibitions is well known and studied.

      And that’s exactly what makes it not the “real you”. Read my edit but someone without inhibitions isn’t telling you who they are, they’re telling you who they choose not to be using inhibitions.

        You’re not accounting for people who are restrained from being who they truly are or who they want to be by the perceived consequences until they’re intoxicated and don’t care about the consequences anymore. Bigots who might only say bigoted things in “safe” company unless they drink too much aren’t virtuous people holding back intrusive thoughts. They are bigots who finally feel free to do so.
