alcohol are called spirits for a reason. they invoke demons to enter the body and make you act like a clown to a monster. depends on what enters you through the pineal gland.

some just want to feel sex again and others just want to destroy you.

don't drink alcohol unless you want to be possessed by demons. and the same goes for any excess of emotion.

we are not alone and there are many dimensions existing together with many different lifeforms who travel in a variety of ways.

First of all, not all alcoholic drinks are spirits. Spirits are your Vodkas, Tequilas, Whisk(e)ys (Bourbon, Scotch, Canadian Whisky, Irish Whisky ...), Cachaça, Gin, Rum, etc. Straight "hard liquor". Beer is not a spirit, nor are wines. Liqueurs are spirit based drinks with different flavours added, that were originally used for medicinal purposes many, many years ago. For example, "Southern Comfort" is a Bourbon based liqueur with peach and orange flavours added.

More to the point, spirits got the name "spirits" because of the distillation process. When the fermented liquid is in the still, it gets heated to 78.3 degrees Celcius, which is the temperature that alcohol boils at. The vapour that contains the alcohol then rises in the still, leaving behind all the water and most other by-products, and is cooled and condensed at the top of the still into a much stronger and more concentrated spirit.

The term "spirits" was coined from when the alcohol rises in the vapour, like a human spirit ascending to heaven.

No demons involved, just a lot of really interesting history and complex processes.

I agree that alcohol can be harmful to the human body, but so can absolutely anything when you consume too much of it. You should never have too much of a good thing.

I've seen first hand what alcohol can do to a person when they regularly drink it over a long period of time, and it is really sad and scary. But I've also seen people who can enjoy it without turning into a "clown" or a "monster" and still live happy, healthy lives, which I think is the vast majority.

As a bartender, I've often used the term "regulars" to sugar-coat what those certain people really are, which is "alcoholics", and it's actually inspired me to drink less, but I still appreciate alcohol for what it is.

Just do some research into the history of alcohol and read about the monks and the alchemists all playing their own part in making alcohol what it is today. It's truly fascinating and there is so much hard work and dedication in bringing all those (hopefully) perfect drinks to people.

Alcohol will never be banned, even if you forget about the history and how many thousands of years it's been used, there's just too much money in it. Probably the same reason smoking is still legal, and poker machines.
