In the hands of a reasonable person, any poison can become medicine. All the stories in this book are like a miniature educational program and the author's contribution to the mindful drinking of alcohol and delivering a person from pathological dependence on anything.

Numerous tinctures are used for medicinal purposes, each containing alcohol as a carrier agent. We do not abuse them but consume them with great care. This book is an attempt to take a similar look at alcoholic beverages we consume recreationally and to learn how they affect us psychologically. The knowledge of homeopathy is used to describe the key ingredients of the most popular alcoholic drinks. This may lead to a better understanding of our hidden desires and states of mind behind every choice of beverage.
