during Alcibiades' speech he says "truth comes from wine"
i wonder if there is any truth in this statement
my inclination is no but it's defiantly open to debate

The argument here--which I'd say is partially true--is that when someone drinks their inhibitions are lowered and their guard is down. Therefore, they less likely to censor themselves and more likely to act on their thoughts, desires, or to say things they might normally keep to themselves. I think there's a good argument here for the ability of wine to bring about a certain measure of truthfulness but, as always, it depends on situation and it is certainly not foolproof.
ReplyDeletei agree with everything you just said
ReplyDeletetruth can come from wine
the question however should have been if wine brings any useful truth
in my opinion this is far less likely
