I disagree with the OP. Alcohol isn't more or less likely to tell the truth or lie. It is more likely to allow you to do something that you were afraid to do. If you were afraid to reveal a hidden truth or feeling, then it MIGHT allow you to rip the cover off.
If you're a completely truthful person with nothing to hide, alcohol won't have that effect on you. If you aren't hiding anything important from the folks you are drinking with, then you won't have any reason to blurt out state secrets.
It's not like the CIA used to do shots and pound beers with captured KIA agents in West Berlin. If you don't want to tell something to someone, alcohol isn't going to loosen your lips. If you secretly want them to know, that's something different.
