- frereubu 5y agoThis is right for the drunken dev thoughts, but not for the Herodotus example. "In vino veritas" - in wine there is truth - means that people expose their true thoughts when they're drunk rather than the filtered version they might present when sober, but the story of the Persians is more about the fact that there's value in considering both drunk and sober reactions, particularly when they tally.
- Demeno 5y agoIn Hebrew we have "נכנס יין - יצא סוד", loosely translates to "Wine entered - secret came out".
- lazyant 5y agoor "children and drunks tell the truth"
