Drunken Philosophy

Philosophy is the way of life; it is how to live and how to look at life.?Drink this it will give you the courage to speak the truth? one day my friend handed me a glass of whiskey saying these words. Really?! Is it true that alcohol gives us courage to speak the truth? Over the years I?ve been a part of many so-called ?sessions? where a group of people meets up over drinks. During these sessions I?ve seen people speak more openly and without much of a filter on what?s coming out of their mouth. Initially I thought these were of just entertainment value and it is fun to take part in these discussions. Slowly however I realized that alcohol brings out some of our most profound thinking processes. I was fascinated by the way people think. Some of the discussions were pointless and incomprehensible but often very interesting conversations happened. Some were comedy some were serious arguments. But usually both happen haphazardly. Strangely when I thought of comprehending these conversations in my mind I found them somewhat philosophical!
