Whether it's as simple as an embarrassing text message sent, a drunken confession of love or something a little bit more bizarre, it's usually the sort of thing we wouldn't do while sober.

不管是酒醉后发出的一条尴尬短信，还是表白，抑或是更疯狂的事，这些都是我们在清醒的时候不敢做的。

The upshot is that it seems worryingly simple to extract a false confession from someone-which he might find hard subsequently to retract.

结果是：使人认罪十分的简单，连认罪者之后都会觉得这罪行难以撤销。
