Have you ever been drunk? :) I think that you have. But have you ever mentioned that the state of intoxication can affect your ability to speak languages?
4 years ago I was in Hungary. Once me and my friend went out. We were drunk but not dead drunk. In the club I met one boy from Switzerland and we started to speak German. (German is not my mother tongue). I noticed that I was speaking German fluently, I understood everything and had no problem with expressing myself in a very eloquent way.
As I can see, we can speak foreign languages better when we are drunk because we have less fear of making some mistakes (grammar, vocabulary) and as a result all the words you know (and you don't know) occured to you, these words are getting connected to the sentence and you are able to produce every thought. 2 years ago I was at the party of my friend in Austria and was speaking German with some people. I explained how the Gothic words such as "slepan" developed (I have no idea why this topic!). It is called "consonant shift". The sound "p" became "f" in German etc. I was wondered what words I was using... I think I had never read or heard them before but I pronounced them correctly and it was appropriate.
I am quite sure if I were drunk now I could write a more cohesive and better post ;)
