I believe I read on here somewhere that someone said alchohol is a poisen. I understand that having 3 or more drinks a night would be bad for you but what about 8 ounces of wine?
I’m not certain who said alcohol is a poison.
I think from a yogic perspective it might be better to qaulify alcohol (certain sorts) as medicinal; to be taken as remedy with limited frequency.
The benefits of wine can be achived through other dietary means without numbing the central nervous system.
This is where we FEEL and those who practice yoga as an “awareness” practice might consider they are inhibiting their own awareness when consuming alcohol.
The body does not need alcohol to achieve health and since it has some detrimental effects on the CNS and the liver (in some cases) it’s best to weigh this, as a yogi, when making dietary choices.
