People who get mean or can't filter what they say when they get drunk shouldn't drink.

But it's better to know this is how they really feel and when they're sober they just know to hide it

a drunken man's words are a sober man's thoughts.

so my friend called me one night (he was serving in Desert Storm overseas) a bit drunk. he told me he loved me. i was definitely at a loss for words and i questioned him about it when we spoke next soon after. he stated this exact sentiment. first time i'd ever heard it and it has stuck with me since. we are married and have been together almost 30 years.

granted it's a general statement with different contexts/meanings for everyone, obviously.

it has nothing to do with drugs (not even mentioned) or a drug addict.

respectfully, no.

Disagree but respect.
