I think it means if someone gets drunk enough they will pretty much tell you the answer to whatever you ask.

Alcohol consumption lowers inhibitions, so people are more apt to say and do things that are really inside them, not put on a facade in order to act proper like people do when they are sober. So, if you ask a question, a drunk person will tell you the painful, brutally truthful answer more than a sober person will and, incidentally, will even tell you painful, hurtful, brutally truthful things even when you don't ask. They are wide open for the whole world to see, good, bad, or indifferent.

This is, incidentally, why AlAnon was invented (the support group for people who are loved ones of alcoholics). AlAnon came about because someone realized that it's not just the drunk who needs support to heal, but those who have to be around him or her also need to heal from all the emotional abuse suffered through their loved ones constant absence of inhibitions.

(Sigh) That's supposed to read, "I have a tendency to read the question and click to answer right away before reading the other answers given." Some days...I'm telling ya, I just can't seem to get my words out.
