According to Osho, the significance of drinking is not to take it too seriously. A timely drink is fine when held lightly—neither glorified nor condemned. The key is playfulness and proportion, not prohibition or guilt. If it becomes an escape or dulls consciousness, drop it; if it simply relaxes you without bondage, it’s okay.
Don’t make a big deal—have a drink if it helps you relax, but stay aware and don’t get hooked.
