Honestly, I believe alcohol is like the drug of reactionaries. I become less mindful when I get drunk, and fall back on lazy thinking. It's why I won't drink more than 1 or 2 in days I do. That and it's really not good for my stomach.
My vice of choice instead is weed. All the social lubrication, without the lost of mindfulness. Not a fast mind, but not a dull one, either. Just fucked up enough to relax.
