Drunk = the truth
It is possible that there was some truth in your boyfriend's sincerity but it's hard to gauge. Here are some facts on alcohol.
Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. It acts at many sites, including the reticular formation, spinal cord, cerebellum and cerebral cortex, and on many neurotransmitter systems.
Some of the neurochemical effects of alcohol are:
Increased turnover of norepinephrine and dopamine
Decreased transmission in acetylcholine systems
Increased transmission in GABA systems
Increased production of beta-endorphin in the hypothalamus
