That may be true in some cases, but not all.
For others, being nasty
is a part of 'the person inside'. In those cases, alcohol loosens their inhibitions enough to let that 'part of who they really are' show through. We often get confused and think it's 'just the alcohol' talking. So it really depends on the individual, imo!
I agree with learning not to take nasty behavior and words personally, as difficult as that may be at times.
