Acohol Assuredly has its spiritual benefits

Its not the alcohol but the consciousness of the user that is the dominant effect. All substances are very similar to me. I rarely drink alcohol, probably like 5 - 6 beers in the last 10 years or so but I will give you an example.

Most of my childhood friends who always catch up and drink, and once in a while i will catch up with them and have a beer or two just to blend in a bit and become a bit more relatable, and none of them experience the same experience I have because I am far more spiritually attuned, hence even a beer, or some weed, or even coffee, gives me quite a different experience and effect.

And its because of all the work I have done on myself and the shedding of layers and layers that now even the smallest thing can have a rather potent effect. They probably need 30 beers to even glimpse what I feel and experience, and probably won't even glimpse it.

What I realize with most substances is that I get more with less and feel more myself with less.

Just a little nudge, perfect, all one needs, yet mind seeks more, the trouble comes.

Other than the negative physical effects of alcohol and how it personally turns me into an insufferable idiot, I would say that there is some spiritual dimension to it. The thing I take most from it is the dreamlike quality of the experience when sufficiently intoxicated. Whatever it does it removes some of that rational veil to how we perceive reality, and in some sense we can experience things a little more "as they are". We are living in a dream all the time.
