When you talk to a drunk person... Do you take their words seriously? Or you just think "Oh, he/she is just saying that because he/she is drunk"?

I don't drink and I don't care when they are talking after they drunk. But I have noticed few people are so sharp even after they drunk and some of my know people who become more genius and become productive and active only after drunk. One of an artist who is useless when he doesn't drunk and after drinking he used to draw wonderful paintings and he himself agree that he cannot take the brush and colur if he is not drunk.

I cannot give a solid proof as I don't drink. But from the experience with those drunk people, many are too talkative, some are become more silent, some people become more generous and some are rough & rude. However, be frank and open, I don't like to mingle with any one, if I found they are drunk. As my father used to drink, I taken the pledge and oath that I never taste the same in my life.

People really thinks differently when drunk. I have heard about those kind of artists, especially painters. I too sometimes can think of a "bright idea" when drunk, but that is VERY rare.

Never talk with any drunk person before, and I think I don't want to do it either.. Drunk person is completely out of his mind. While sometimes they can tell the truth easily, at the other time they can say something silly.. [i]"I am an angel.." "I will kill you all with my nuclear weapon!"[/i] Uh-oh, well, something like that.. So I think I wouldn't take his words seriously...

I find it interesting to talk or just listen to a drunk person. I don't take them seriously though when they are in that shape but it just so entertaining what goes out of their mouth without them knowing it in the morning when they have their hangovers. I myself talked a lot too when I am drunk, mostly nonsense jabbering about anything my eyes would have a glimpse on and some came from that deep deep treasure chest inside me that I have kept from everyone for the longest time.

It is nice to get drunk every now and then when you have someone you can talk to freely.

Depends on how well I know them. I know people who are teetotalers and I don't believe a word they say lol. Someone you don't know, drunk or sober, you kind of have to take their word for it, unless you know different.

Drunk people don't think what they're going to say, so most of the time, they tell you the truth. It's almost the same when angry people talk

damned__dle It depends on the person as sometimes if I know the person he or she may really be hurting else they would never have got drunk like that. then I do l isten as many times one can help. If its a stranger and what they are saying sounds"litk utter gibbersish I will listen but not place tolo much credence on what they said. It is hard to know what to think if the person is a stranger to you so best to leave him or her alone unless they are in an emergency situation then I do whatever I can even to calling paramedics.

I had never talked to a drunk before, i only good in whacked the hell out of him than talking to him, until he is snoozed off into his wonderland again. Seriously, i don't think a drunk is interested to talk or continue any conversation with you, no matter you take it seriously or not. I prefer to talk to my dog and parrot than to a drunk.

I had been drunk several times and I don't think it has any effect on my thinking. Well I think there's a tendency to exaggerate but I don't think I would disclose my secrets when I'm drunk. A liar always tell a lie whether he's drunk or not.

I have often been told that when a person is drunk they usually speak the truth and what has been bugging them and they did not have the courage to speak it while sober. Depending on who it is, and what is being said, I do try to listen as sometimes I gather they have been hurting inside for a long time. Now I do know some that while drunk speak outright rubbish too. lol

hi, i had experienced that so many times,i would love to talk with a person who is drunk because they dont know that they speak out their real feelings and those words they wanted to say even secrets they speak it out too.some of them tell their real problems without hesitations.

According to what I have experienced,sometimes a drunk person dares to speak out what he doesn't tell you when he's not drunk.But after he's awake,he always doesn't admit what he said though he had told the truth.

Most of the time when we get drunk, we exaggerate. But yeah, sometimes we just get enough courage to just let it all out. Scary thought.

most of the drunk, the way they talk especially the message are based on their personal problems in life... and never mind those myth and sorcery type of their explanations.... for the way the drunk talks.... it is like looking to the artist the way they paint on the canvas landscape oil painting.... there's a message there in painting that sometimes - hard to analyze, hard to get....

i know this may sound bad but i love trying to communicate with drunk off their butt people i think it is so funny because they do not make a lick of since i do not take their words seriously because they are drunk but that also depends of the situation some people will say "oh they dont mean that they are just drunk" then some people will look at it as "the truth comes out when people are drunk because they do not take care to hide what they really think"i dont know which to believe

I never take drunk guys words or actions seriously. More often than not, it's the booze that's talking. I just pretend to really care so that the won't feel disrespected.hihihihihi

When i'm drunk i am more honest and sincere with the words that i'm saying and i expect other people to do like that. So yeah, i do take their words seriously unless what they're saying are just too far fetched.

How could anyone take a drunk persons words seriously? You have to let it go, let them talk, they will feel different in the morning. People who are drunk do say lots of stupid things, some of them even get into fights over it. But you have to take it from where it's coming from.
