From the paper:
An editorial in The Daily Princetonian of February 21, 2000 extols alcohol as the world’s most extraordinary beverage,” noting specifically that alcohol’s effects are akin to a truth serum. Through a Platonic lens, this statement comes to acute focus. Alcohol is widely noted as a conversational stimulus where participants are less inhibited in expressing opinions. Platonic congruity arises because Plato espouses dialectic, a candid give and take discourse, as a means to discovering immutable Truth. Thus, even Plato could consent to The Daily Princetonian’s judgment (Brummett 25).”
