It can be very hard to avoid the consumption of alcohol for those in certain countries or who participate in gay culture. Alcohol is a substance that can cause addiction and death and it can interact with the third eye in ways that are usually undesirable, but it is also not a death sentence to have wine with dinner or to consume liquors occasionally during social gatherings. In order to be practical, it is advised to only use alcohol in the minimum required amount in order to party, have fun, or participate in social events. 90% of the time you can avoid liquor but you will eventually be pressured into buying drinks. Of course, you have personal choice and there are many valid reasons to choose to either participate in alcohol or not. The main dangers are the damage to your liver or physical addiction to the substance, as well as driving under the influence.
When talking about liquor from the spiritual side, it seems incomplete to not talk about how liquor is an offering to spirits and gods. There are more deities that take liquor than that do not, and this seems to reflect the collective value that humanity has put on the substance. It represents a lot of things and putting it on a shrine attracts fun times with friends, night out, or even luck or sexual energy if it is spiced. So this is a substance that even if you choose not to consume, it can be useful to you when given to deities or ancestors. Depending on what spirits or deities you are giving liquor the quality or flavor may not even matter. This means you can get cheap liquor and have many offerings to give daily for a few weeks. However, not everyone will do this either and that’s okay too.
