If you give an INFP a drink (or a few drinks).....will they confess?
their inner most feelings, their upmost desire, romantic sentiment and other secrets?

I'm definitely *more* open and silly than when sober, but that's mainly because it's easier for me to find the words. Alcohol lubricates my Ne. However, I'm far less likely to share any soul-level insights in that state. Lubricated Ne leads to repressed Fi.
I'm also sillier and less inhibited, but the deep thoughts are being killed off by the alcohol . You're not going to get any confession concerning profound feelings out of me then.
If you let them drink a beer mixed with Fanta, they will after the first 1/4th dance on the table making a huge party with everyone, be hard to tame at all and always shout for more more and more. Then approximatly 10 minutes later, when they have drunk another 1/4th, so a whole half of Fanta/Beer, they will be totally drunk and complain about they have to vomit any second.
Then by all means prevent them from drinking the 3rd 1/4th, even if they may intentionally hurt you for it and rip your eyebrows out of your skull, otherwise you may end up being vomitted from head to toe and having a sleeping infp in your arms you carry home
its wrong to alter someones brains with alcohol to make them say something that they wouldnt normally say
Well, if you noticed there were some posts that, paraphrased, come down to "I got drunk and spilled my guts a few times, but I don't generally open up when drunk." Make of that what you will.
As far as opening up, it depends on the INFP. I can be pretty open with people I trust and who I know have good intentions towards me. However, I have a hard time finding the words sometimes, so it can still be tough for me to get into the really deep stuff.
My defenses start coming down when I feel like the other person is listening to me without negatively judging me. Usually, if they can do that for a little bit, my floodgates eventually open. Sometimes to my chagrin.
Having a sleeping INFP in my arms to carry home was the intention (sans le barf)
Same here. I am more honest and open (and silly) but don't tend to engage in confessional discussions.I'm definitely *more* open and silly than when sober, but that's mainly because it's easier for me to find the words.

I tend to open up if the other person does also; there needs to be a shared vulnerability. So I'd suggest opening up yourself.
Also, watch for signs of the INFP testing you; at least, I do this with people. I might let a little something slip and see their response, if they can handle it or not.
I have a well documented weakness for Marshmallow Peeps. Perhaps that'll work on your guy, too.
Some INFJs need the other person to open up a whole bunch before they'll offer a trickle in return, and that doesn't work with many INFPs.
If the motive is to knock them out & take advantage of them, then it might work, but I'd advise you against it still :horor:

Yeah. Well. I just opened up a whole bunch (non inebriated semiconfessional) to an INFP after he confronted me about my feelings - and he was pretty insistent I give him an answer (I didn't know INFPs could be like that). He caught me off guard and I couldn't respond. He was pretty impatient with me and said, "you're not answering the question." I just couldn't answer him on the spot because the feelings run so deep. Later I emailed him a lengthy email revealing to him in great detail how I feel when I'm with him. I just wish he would return the favor. I hope I didn't scare him away with the intensity of the feelings I expressed. It will be interesting to see how he responds.
