Whenever people say "That wasn't me, it was the alcohol talking," what they're really saying is, "I would never have blurted out the truth like that if I hadn't become so uninhibited thanks to my drinking."
I suppose this is why people talk about blowing off some steam with a few drinks.
Being angry is like being drunk: it makes you tell the truth. I might as well say, that wasn't me talking, that was just the anger. As a nondrinker, I usually refrain from harsh truths unless I'm angry -- other than on my blog.
Which, in a roundabout way, sorta makes this blog my substitute for drinking.

Try "in ira veritas" for the full Latin effect!

Ha! You're right, of course, but if I did that it would mean pretending to be more sophisticated than I am.
