In vino veritas
In vino veritas is a Latin phrase that means "in wine, truth."
The expression, together with its counterpart in Greek, "Ἐν οἴνῳ ἀλήθεια" (En oinōi alētheia), is found in Erasmus' Adagia, I.vii.17.Pliny the Elder's Naturalis historia contains an early allusion to the phrase. The Greek expression is traced back to a poem by Alcaeus.
Herodotus asserts that if the Persians decided something while drunk, they made a rule to reconsider it when sober. Authors after Herodotus have added that if the Persians made a decision while sober, they made a rule to reconsider it when they were drunk (Histories, book 1, section 133).
The Roman historian Tacitus described how the Germanic peoples kept council at feasts, where they believed that drunkenness prevented the participants from dissembling.
The phrase is sometimes continued as, "In vino veritas, in aqua sanitas", i.e., "In wine there is truth, in water there is health."
Similar phrases exist across cultures and languages.

In Vino Veritas
by: Scorpion WindSo won't someone pour me another martini to sip while
Rome is afire? So won't someone pour me another martini,
and we'll toast the world's funeral
pyre.
I was born in a blizzard of bubbles, rising us towards
the sun. Clock this world up for the dead (?), and he
said he'd rather have fun. I've been drinking, and I've
been thinking, and I think that I'll drink some more.
So here's to your health, and here's to crime, and here's
to sex evermore. We're men of the brain, and not cocaine.
I treasure my pleasure and cherish your pain.
So won't someone pour me another martini to sip while
Rome is afire? Won't someone pour me another martini, and
we'll toast the world's funeral pyre.
So let's have another, another sherry, gin and vermouth,
whisky sour, highball, 7 and 7(?), midori martini,
chardonnay, rum and coke, margaritas, long island iced
tea, cognac, daiquiris, bloody mary, [something] all
around, Jaegermeister, Irish whisky, keep them coming,
keep the glasses full.
To crime, here's mud in your eye, [something], chin-chin,
[something], [something], [something], Heilige,
