I want to read about these aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy:
>Religion
>Tradition
>Culture
>Alcohol
>Becoming the Ubermensch
Basically the practical stuff, real ideas. I don't really care about anything else that isn't going to affect my daily life (metaphyisics, ontology).
What do I read?

>What do I read?
The abundant Nietzsche threads already in the catalog
That's 95% of what he wrote about anyways
Read the Untimely Meditations

Nietzsche solved philosophy. Talking about anything else is a waste of time.

You don't deserve to read philosophy.

Get real. Whether you believe knowledge comes from reason or sense, your ideas on reality, your thoughts on the possibility that we're in a simulation etc. play a tiny role in how you live, unless you're autistic.

do you even know what metaphysics and ontology is?

One should retain the best values these narratives have to offer without becoming a slave of those narratives themselves. One should be ethical not because of religion or culture, but to get closer to the greek ideal of virtue.
The values attached to these narratives that are percieved as worthless should be overcome, and the values that you choose to retain should be costantly be examined and debated.
>Alcohol
Nietzsche never wrote anything of relevamce about drugs. That said in Ecce Homo he says that he used to drink in his early 20s, and that drinking heightened his sensibility, bringing him often on the verge of tears. After that period he went straight-edge for the rest of his life.
He occasionally used opium to treat his debilitating headaches, but he has not left any account of that in his major works (although I'm sure you can find something about it in his letters).
>becoming the ubermensch
An ubermensch is a man who lives in perfect accord to nature. You get to that point by costantly overcoming your past self, and by owning every aspect of your natural life (from physiology to psychology). In that pursuit you should never entertain yourself with life-denying tendencies and narratives, such as self-imposed chastity or empty moral systems (such as the german bourgeoise morality of the mid 19th century).
This does not mean that you should live a unethical and immoral/amoral life, it just means that you have to impose those values by yourself, since all the other common foundations (religion, tradition, culture) are both life-denying and doomed to fail.

>which of his books cover the things you've just explained to me?
Nietzsche's magnum opus is clearly Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but it is easy to misinterpret it if you don't know where he's coming from.
Start with the Birth of Tragedy, Untimely Meditations and (especially) The Geneaology of Morality.
I'd love to recommend you some secondary literature, but so far I've only read Italian essayists, and I don't know if they have already been translated. The best Nietzscheian thinker in Italy is Gianni Vattimo (wich is, also, a good Heideggerian, who was a great Nietzscheian himself).
