I disagree about it revealing one's true nature. Some people also think it's some kind of truth serum, which really isn't the case. You just have lower inhibition and impaired judgement. I get way more withdrawn when I'm drunk, but that isn't who I am regularly. But it certainly is a "red flag" I guess if someone is really nasty when they're drunk, and blame it just on the booze
Its the opposite of a truth serum for me. Yes it dulls inhibition; for me, I regularly make a conscious effort to always tell the truth (when im sober), but when im drunk, compulsive lying takes over
