have experiences with spirits - either earthbound or here for another reason, and they try to drink (beer, wine, vodka) to help them deal with it, but in reality I feel it simply makes matters worse.

I'm not opposed to having a few - I brew my own beer - but I find my abilities are both enhanced by the drink, but my defenses are also affected. I drop my guard and absorb way too much negative energy.

I will say this - some drugs used by Native Americans in rituals, when used in a ritual with protection and used as the drug should be used, it OK. This is what they're here in the planet for... to be used, but not recreationally..

This is for naturally occurring drugs, not synthetic drugs. I feel synthetic drugs might be designed to help suppress abilities - lower our vibrational being, and thus are harmful.
