very correct, except that it's latin, not italian. And it refers to using alcohol to get the truth out of your so called "friends" that might just become the next Brutus 👆

I think the point of the saying is that people tell the truth about what they think when they're drunk.
I can honestly say that there is much truth to the saying. For example, my roomates female friend(whom I despise) was over one night when I had been drinking all day. Normally, I'm quite tolerant and keep my disdain for her under wraps. However, this night, I was a total prick. Eventually, I apologized and everything went back to normal. But, I was sober when I told her I didn't really mean what I had said. So, again...the saying rings true.

Yes, don't you think It some how enables your faculties and gets down to the root of what you are really thinking?...Like you said...
so....It drives away your inhibitions to tell the truth....And afterwords, you feel guilty for what you might have said, cause...It's not acceptable to someone, or that you might be taken as someone different then what you want to be portrayed as?
as was said already, saying is Latin
and if i remember correctly it had also second part...something like in aqua sanitas..but not sure.
as for the topic.
imo it is partly truth.
because after consuming alcohol ppl tend to act differently than while sober.
of course their behaviour can be totally not acceptable... but i think it is reveling their inner self...something like that anyway 😕
The Saying is Italian which is derived from Latin....but I think there can be much truth in letting your guard down...And what's so bad about that...Isn't truth better than deception, and lies..false hood..mislead words....Kinda makes head games go away...don't you think? I think the Italians were on to something..
if your gonna get bladdered to the point that you'll say things that you dont mean to say...then its best to come to an understanding with your mates that they'll all get just as bladdered as you...and either a) not remember anything you said anyway....or b) have said something embarresing themselves and so the next day you can sit in uncomfortable silence

Its the inability to control yourself ; some impaired minds find it difficult to bullshit. As it goes since a lie is made up, and its not factual, the person lying makes up the lie out of his/her min. Under alcoholic influence, its difficult to recount what the lie is (unless you are a really good liar) made up of or rather what the truth is not so recollections on events differ slightly.
When the person is questioned the next day when he/she has sobered up, then again another story emerges from the different ones told previously.
..thats how it goes
