I don't know why, but when I read the last two panels of the current comic I blinked and then cackled like a hyena on crack, and QC hasn't made me do that for a long time (usually a chuckle or a grin and laugh but hahaha omg OWLS lololol - I think it was her expression that mostly did it.)
Then I read it again and laughed some more, and now I feel great. Thanks Jeph!

No it doesn't. In vino veritas is an old saying, but old doesn't mean true.

It doesn't mean false, either, and in this case, it's very much a mix. It's very hard to lie convincingly when drunk, and many times people forget to tell the lies they usually tell people. Alcohol impairs the ability to choose carefully what you want to say, and sometimes that means saying the truth when you didn't intend to. However, it also can cause you to speak unclearly or say things in a way that distorts meaning, or think things that you would dismiss when sober because they're stupid, and then say them out loud. However, you're still YOU when you're drunk, no matter how intoxicated you are, and you still have to think the thoughts you're saying out loud.
Listening to a recording of yourself when you're very drunk can be quite enlightening. But you shouldn't take what other people say drunk at face value.
