Drunkers Part 2

I found some answers to my question in my last post about Mel Gibson's self destruction.
The article included this statement:

"Dr. Marc Galanter says alcohol can often cause people to say things they normally wouldn't—and doesn't necessarily mean those statements should be taken at face value. "When people are heavily intoxicated, they often say things that relate to issues that may be on their mind, but don't necessarily reflect their true attitudes as they'd express them when sober," says Galanter, director of the alcohol and drug abuse division at New York University Medical Center. "You end up with a person whose judgment is compromised, who has trouble thinking clearly, and whose memory may be affected.""

It's one so called 'experts' expert opinion and it sounds about right to me but I still wonder if it's really true.

Assuming this is true where did the words come from that Mel spewed the other night? There has to be some reason that he would say something like that even if he is drunk and not coherent and in control of his conscious thoughts etc. It makes me wonder what I would say in the same situation. Maybe I should give it a try and see what comes out. Now hold on, before you get all concerned. Whatever I might say I won't be responsible for. Right?
