I think the question of alcohol is quite simple, and I think it applies equally to bhang, cough medicine, painkillers etc.If you wish to converse with the almighty, you need to be as sober as a judge, and as clean minded as a saint.If you wish to belong to a social group then it doesn't matter what you drink or think..each of us takes out of sikhism what we want, but I have much respect for anyone who desires a presence with the almighty to the point where that feeling naturally dwarfs any intoxicant. It is not a question of should i? but why would i?
