I really, really, really, like Rosemary Macleod.
Not sure about this though.
"but in vino veritas, as the Romans put it - as in, when off your face your true nature comes out".
No it doesn't. I'm with Steven Peters and Freud on this, drugs and alcohol as with anger, stress, hurt etc allow the emotional, Id, "chimp" side of the brain to rule over the rationale ego "human" side of the brain. Its not the whole you - just an aspect of you.
That's why you make bad decisions when you are drunk as they "fight/flight" primitive part of the brain is at work not the rationale side.
