What happens when you drink wine?
Italians would say that you tell the truth. They get that sentiment from a phrase in Latin - In vino veritas.
It literally means ‘in wine lies the truth.’
They say it:
Quando qualcuno è brillo - When someone is tipsy
Quando qualcuno è alticcio - When someone is buzzed
Quando qualcuno è ubriaco - When someone is drunk
Quando qualcuno è sbronzo - When someone is hammered
Forte, no? (Cool, right?)
