Do Drunks Tell The Truth?
A quick search on the net comes up dry. (How bout some help?) I wonder if there are medical studies? Alcohol can severely change a person's personality, mood, ability to think and communicate clearly. It just doesn't make sense to say a person is more truthful when drunk.
When I remember my own experiences, I never paid attention to someone's words who was drunk - especially if they were belligerent. So why are people saying drunks tell the truth?
In Mel Gibson's case, he made a very successful and powerful movie about Christ- which brought his faith into the limelight. His life, work, business relationships and words were carefully searched for any hint of anti-semetism, but all attempts fell short. (Many Jewish Rabbis and writers led the way in attempting to expose him as an anti-semite). Suddenly a drunk, belligerent Gibson is arrested and curses Jews. Now we know the real truth!
Gibson has made several huge mistakes. He will most certainly pay a dear price- he should. But he is also an alcoholic and drunks are insane people. Legally, we don't let them drive. We don't even allow them in public. So why would you believe the words of a drunk?
