I cannot personally see the value of alcohol in self-discovery because it does not do anything like that to me, but I sure acknowledge that it can help others with that. You are way better off with marijuana for self-discovery though. Alcohol quickly becomes dangerous with higher consumption and lethal, with very high consumption. The distance between moderate and very high, with alcohol, is not THAT big. I mean, yes, you need to try hard but not very hard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content

With marijuana, a human cannot consume a lethal dose. They say that consuming 1500 lbs all at once would be lethal, but can you do it? You cannot even come close.
