This document discusses alcohol and tobacco without focusing on their benefits or toxic effects, which are widely known. It argues that the fanatic righteousness of both supporters and opponents adds to problems rather than solving them. Instead of analyzing various angles and issues, the author is interested in the power of empowerment, enrichment, solace, stress management, fusion, bonding, unification, and uniting so-called sinners with the pious. The author believes everyone can experience the benevolent power of remembrance without guilt or pride about their habits or addictions.
