Answering on another topic to be more in topic 😛

When drunk, my foreign language skills are **way** better. Well, if the drunkness level isn’t too high, of course. I never tried with French (when I had chances of speaking French I was usually in high school and - while teenage me had no problems in drinking - it was difficult to get drunk with my French professor around) but both English and German skyrocket, or so I’ve been told.

Why is it so? Is there some kind of inibition that makes alcohol help when speaking a second language?
