Aaron says that in some cases these things can be true. It is also possible that some people believe that thing to be true. Even though the person speaking may not have such an intention.

It is not necessary that both the speaker and the listener accept that thing together.
Quitting a job or leaving town while drunk is not resolved the next morning
For example, when a drunk friend tells another friend that he is going to leave the city or that he will quit his job tomorrow, it does not happen the next morning. He is working in the same office. He is living in the same city. He may say the same thing again in the next party. Because no study has been found which has proved that honesty increases after drinking alcohol.

Alcohol intensifies a person’s emotions and behavior becomes extreme
Michael Sayette, a psychology professor at Pittsburgh University, says that drinking alcohol intensifies our emotions. We laugh more. We talk more. We speak louder. It is also possible that we start crying if the situation worsens a little. When emotions become more intense, people say what is in their mind. The reaction of a sober person also becomes different when he is drunk. That is, alcohol takes our behavior to an extreme level. A person acts on his impulses.
