It is damaging no matter the dose, or frequency. That being said, a dose or two here or there has a minimal negative impact, but it is negative in essence regardless. The amount of a person being able to "tank" the damage depends on the makeup of their soul - people with a more earthy and fiery disposition are able to handle it better in physical terms.

This is just a difference of people's opinions. There is no doubt that alcohol is bad for you.

My opinion is that a small amount like a couple beers on a special occasion is not going to do any permanent or lasting damage. Drinking large amounts or too often will do much more damage and it could become permanent. But a small amount that is not often, you will heal from this and you will be fully recovered in 1 or 2 or 3 days, depending on your overall health and things like that. Why drinking too often is so bad is because the body is always trying to heal from it and never gets a break, so the immune system becomes depleted and leads to other sicknesses.

And the other thing I can say is that an ice cold water out of the fridge is a thousand times more refreshing and more enjoyable than any kind of cold beer. Especially if you have been working hard.

Alcohol is a drug, and like any other drug, the damage it causes depends largely on the dose and delivery.

It will always be toxic in any amount due to the metabolites created from ethanol(notably aldehydes which are known carcinogens). But it is more harmful to drink constantly, or drink alot in a short period of time, or to drink on an empty stomach, because the drug is absorbed rapidly and is more stressful on the body to clear out. Drinking constantly can make you dependent and can lead to dangerous withdrawal symptoms like seizures.

If you're athletic or interested in fitness then be aware that alcohol also interferes with recovery and protein synthesis.

There is no prohibition against drinking in Satanism. Opinions on alcohol here are strong. You're an adult and you're free to make your own choices, but drink responsibly. Don't do things after drinking that will put others in danger, like driving, and always keep in mind that your decision making ability will be altered. Read about harm reduction practices and treat alcohol like a drug, because it is one.

If you decide to drink then I suggest drinking something quality. I find that they feel less toxic than cheap and premixed drinks, and they have a more pleasant taste anyway.

There are two reasons why you get different answers by different people:
*Personal opinion

*In Spiritual Satanism, we have freedom of choice on how to live our lives. The difference with NPCs is that, in many cases, we also know the consequences of our choices,                               we accept these consequences and we hold ourselves accountable for them.
