I heard this, is it true?

Absolutly not for release. This is the same as pouring alcohol on your lungs.
The theory is that the sudden influx of alcohol into the bloodstream from the wiskey (rum, vodka) from the gills (lungs) gets the fish drunk and relaxes the muscles in the meat it before the knife does it's work.
The chef said that it made the meat more tender, and very tender it was.
