Except it’s not a false assumption
It is if there are actually people who don't blow drugs and alcohol out of proportion, which is by and large the case. You just don't want to accept that reality because it blows your false sense of smugness out of the water.
I embrace the harsh reality
Given that drugs and alcohol are apart of it, then no. And again, your same purtitanical logic has been used against everything ranging from celebrating christmas, fox hunting, watching theatre, and horse-racing in the late seventeenth-century. Yet you hypocritcally concede there is this thing called "spiritual development" you don't realize you opened a giant hole in your logic.
a string and clear mind
Clarity and sobriety aren't always the same thing. And you have no right to talk about strength when you can't even handle a fucking joint or a beer.

You are a retarded nigger if you equate anything that gives any kind of pleasure regardless of context to getting drunk and stoned or other sorts of fsggotry which I’m sure you will justify as well. Enjoy your sedation and escapism, degenerate.

How is this even remotely retarded at all? You know perfectly well that it does indeed help facilitate pleasure. You're just mad that you're losing this argument and I find it amusing that I can tell how upset you are. Loosen up faggot, control your emotions and stop being such a smug prude. You're not impressing anyone.
It's only an escape if you that's what you're after, and it's perfectly possible to indulge in such escapism by praying to non-existent god or self-flagellation.
