Is alcohol paranormal/spiritual? Some cultures see geting drunk as spiritual, while some people say it causes you to get possessed.
Alcohol and Spirituality -- Why it's called SPIRIT

This video describes the word Alcohol as being derived from terms meaning bad spirits, 'ghoul'. She got black out drunk one night at a bar and saw how everyone was being controlled. Describing people with bad behaviors after consuming.
Meanwhile Japan drinks "お屠蘇" Holy Sake on New Years to bring positive feeling to each other. Drunkness is divine. I don't know, I'm kind of a happy drunk.
Fuck it, talk about marijuana in this thread too, I know it makes me perceive too much, but it could be very good for communicating with the other world.
Bump, interested
You don’t have to read Arabic to see the differences between the word for alcohol and the word for ghoul. If the link is bad, go to Google translate and check it out.

Alcohol makes me feel like everything is easy whether or not it actually is. It feels very good to be a little drunk and doing easy tasks, so that's how I use it. I know the sense of ease is "false", so I don't push it, but sometimes I also get hung up fearing things that I know rationally won't be that hard. Alcohol is great for those. It makes them feel more like their real difficulty.
I don't think there's anything paranormal about it, although I've always been fascinated by the term "spirits". It always seemed remarkable to me that people would ever call the much-decried fluid of alcohol by such a sacred name as "spirits".

Weed doesn't make me perceive anything, I'm kind of envious.
