OK. Never in this life have I been drunk! Never in this life have I been a tiny bit drunk. The person you are looking at right now has never been drunk. In "past lives" I was drunk! My opinion about it in this life is that it's totally unnecessary and it leads to difficulties and problems. And even a little bit drunk can lead to difficulties and problems. This is why within Buddhism it's encouraged to give up any intoxicant that can confuse your mind. Whether it's alcohol, whether it's drugs, whether it's some commonly acceptable thing from the shelf of the supermarket, to watch out for disturbing your mind so that it can't think clearly. Special occasions for me? Give me a root beer or a vanilla milkshake from McDonalds. Yeah.
