Obviously having a drink with the colleagues has nothing to do with alcoholism.

I was responding to the comment that 'in the extreme, alcohol is a truth serum'. It isn't.

I don't think they meant extreme as in repetitive use.

I think they meant when you've drank enough to be drunk.

e.g it's not very effective as a truth serum if you've only had a little.
