It does. When drunk, one is prone to egocentric aggrandizement and that
includes linguistic abilities. When 2 or more are drunk - and are still
amicable, not brawling, communication in any number of 1/2 learned language
fragments and body/sign language is possible. And if you are all sufficiently
drunk enough, even the idea of mind-melding - telepathy - is not outside the
realm of the possible... ;)
