Your enquiry shows that you are not watching serials in T.V., since you are always immersed in thinking about God! In the serials, whenever a scene comes, showing drinking alcohol, a warning is written that drinking alcohol is injurious to health and takes away one’s life. It spoils the liver leading to death. Whatever amount of alcohol is good for health, it is obtained from food items involving fermentation by the will of God. People start taking alcohol in small doses for heath, but, in course of time the quantity increases enormously resulting in serious damage of health. It increases the emotion beyond limits by which the mind loses its balance resulting in committing sins also. Hence, scriptures condemn drinking alcohol.


In spiritual path, emotion (devotion or Bhakti Yoga) is essential to transform the knowledge (Jnana Yoga) in to practice (Karma yoga). But, this emotion need not be brought by drinking alcohol since due to the effect of alcohol, the knowledge itself disappears! In such case, where is its transformation in to action? Even the action cannot be implemented properly because a person drunk shows mad actions like walking in zigzag way!
