And again this idea appears that releasing inhibitions exposes your true self. NO! Your true self includes those inhibitions, for better or worse, and removing them is removing part of yourself.

I have been that drunk. Never again. But I was still thinking, not in a sophisticated or logical fashion, but on a more feelings based, instinctual level. However I was saved from myself by the fact that my lack of motor function prevented anyone from understanding what I was trying to say...
I can see your point about inhibitions being an integral part of your self, but that does not mean that the impulses they prevent aren't also part of your true self, even if they are contradictory. Humans tend to be inconsistent.
Put another way, we have different inhibitions depending on a situations context, right?

And again this idea appears (briefly) that releasing inhibitions exposes your true feelings. But your true self includes those inhibitions, for better or worse, and removing them means that your thoughts become unrepresentative of you.

True facts. I once (only once) got falling down drunk and called my best girlfriend a dirty skank who stole boyfriends even though while sober I knew perfectly well that wasn't true. I was also caught on camera declaring my love to some other girl that I barely knew. I mean, she was hot and all, but I'm straight and haven't experienced any lesbian tendencies since.
I'm pretty sure that once you're downed-a-fifth-of-liquor drunk (gin in my case), nothing you say could really be called true anymore, and no one should believe you. Well, unless you say it again while sober.

You must feel like a broken record, having to repeat this that often.

Oh man, I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it! Hilarious.
And yeah, the fact that he punches Time fails to cross the line from stupid stupid to awesome stupid.
