Are men more honest when they are drunk or sobber???

[cupcake78]

Well come on all you men folk out there. It's time you owned up. Women generally are at there most honest while drunk.

I have a very good male friend who after having a few tells me all sorts (everything!!)about his feelings, views etc all of which is very flattering towards me.
However all he says when he is sober is that he means what he says to me when he is drunk.

The question is does he really mean it??? Can I be sure that he is fully aware of what he has said or is he just testing the waters.

Never believe a word they say in either condition

I think people can have certain feelings when they are drunk that they do not have when they are sober, so may be telling the truth when drunk and also telling the truth when sober. Does that make sense?

"Wine in, truth out" as my Grandfather used to say.

Not sure if I subscribe to this myself. I talk utter shite when pissed

So my gut feelings are right. He is talking out his arse to see if he can get me in the sack???

Umm interesting. Especially considering we are both married.

I think that a few glasses makes for truth serum but once you;re sloshed you talk uitter shite. I do anyway. I make things up in my head and talk about them as if everyone else should know what I mean

Well if he says nice things to you when he's drunk and when he's sober says that he means what he says when he's drunk then surely that answers your question. Unless however he doesn't tell the truth when he's sober...[hmm[] Men hey?

Your sense of reason breaks down and you succumb to your inner passions/emotions more i think.

That can be a good or bad thing i guess.

Some things are better kept in really or kept from turning into animal urges.

It's great to act on them in certain situations though. I am sure we have all done things that we know we wouldn't have done without being lubricated with alcohol and had a great time.

It's not all bad!

my dh told my mam on holiday[after a lot of tequiela]thank you for this beutiful creature [me] then passed outlike to think hes very honest while drunk!

My FIL met my SIL new boyfriend for 'the test' the other week. He rolled in completely smashed and went on to tell him lots of inappropriate honest things and they had a real bond going on.

Was really funny. He even helped him up to bed and tucked him in.

Told him in the morning he had passed.

Alcohol does have its good moments!

thats nice ericscrooge he must be a good drunk!

I talk a load of old shite when pissed,so does dh.

" A drunken man speaks a sober man's mind"!
So my mother told me aeons ago.

In vino veritas, I reckon - although I think it only means that you genuinely believe it's true when you're drunk, so it might not be true as soon as you sober up.

For example, "you're my best mate" may well be absolutely true while the sayer is careering around and you are the one providing moral or (more likely) physical support. It will however cease to be true when the same individual wakes up the following morning and you are the one remining him of what an arse he was last night.

Likewise "you are so gorgeous" may indeed be an accurate perception when someone has their beer goggles on, but when faced with the cold light of day, reality may have altered somewhat...

This has turned into an interesting thread.

I'm very familiar with the morning after feeling of "oh god did I really say that". It is the persistence he seems to show that is making me wonder.

My friend is not the most honest chap with most people sober or drunk and he has always been tricky to figure out. However I know he is very honest with me and does tell me things he would never and doesn't tell others inc his DW (we have practically grown up with each other).

DaddsterInAPearTree and EricScrooge I know exactly what your saying. We will be seeing him again soon and I think a few strategic questions once he has "loosened up" may prove very entertaining.

At least I know whatever the outcome he is bloody hilarious and a really good friend.
