Arent they more receptive to also tracing back their way to that potential truth?
Like if you ask them to show their work, wouldnt that give you a lot more information to use to evaluate if its ultimately bullshit or atleast credible?
Someone drunk enough to tell a truth that they wouldn’t otherwise have done so, is probably going to have a hard time tracing back down any train of thought more than a couple of hops in my experience.
And that’s if you can convince them to do that at all.
If you’re looking to verify something you think you already know, maybe slightly better chances
Of course, YMMV and it’s worth saying you really shouldn’t try to manufacture this scenario with the purpose of finding something out, that’s probably a line crossed for most people
I feel like at that point, its basically similar to hypnosis haha. You would definitely want to be in the “asking only questions you already know the answer to” but still
It can be, but the problem with getting a truth from someone drunk, is that a drunk person is also an unreliable narrator.
Hard to tell when you’re actually hearing a truth or just alcohol induced nonsense
