Alcohol (C2H5OH) - neurotropic protoplasmic poison

The subject of faith of alcoholic believers:

1. C2H5OH is necessary for the life of every person, in particular, no holiday, meeting of guests or other feast is possible without it.

2. C2H5OH has beneficial properties, although this is refuted by science.

3. C2H5OH is harmless to the body in some small amounts.

4. C2H5OH, in addition to supernatural, has beneficial physiological effects on the human body (helps to relax and forget their problems for a while).

Description of the central ritual action of alcoholic believers:

1. The action usually begins in the afternoon in a spacious room (or outdoors), but the importance of having a table and enough seating is important.

2. Participants of the ritual action dress beautifully, preen in every possible way and place beautiful tall sealed vessels (most often bottles) with alcoholic solutions (ranging from 3-4 percent to 40 percent) on the table; in addition to alcoholic solutions, a wide range of food products are often placed.

3. Participants of the ritual action sit down at the table, and one or several of the most authoritative believers perform the ceremony of uncorking vessels with solutions, which is often accompanied by uninformative fanatical statements by alcoholic believers regarding the actual or imaginary properties of the alcoholic solutions they use.

4. Authoritative believers (whom the participants in the ceremony trust to perform such important elements of it) pour alcoholic solutions from bottles into transparent glass vessels (glasses, glasses, wine glasses, etc.), which are given to each participant. At the same time, the participants in the ritual action pronounce fairly standard phrases aimed (allegedly) at limiting the amount of alcoholic solutions poured. Such resistance of the participants, who are not yet very strong in the alcoholic faith, is condemned by the bearers of the creed.

5. The participants in the action raise containers filled with solutions, hold them in a bent hand (the position of the hand, however, does not have a strictly dogmatic meaning) and wait until one of the participants proclaims a solemn ritual speech (toast), the semantic content of which depends on the individual qualities of the proclaimer, the concentration of alcohol (and / or other drugs) in his blood, the presence and presence in the community of believers of a person who plays the auxiliary role of the "hero of the occasion", as well as other, less important factors.

6. The person making a ritual speech must not make others wait long - he usually does this while standing, trying to give his posture and facial expression as much ritual value as possible. An obligatory component of the proclaimed speech is the wish to the "hero of the occasion" (if any) and to all those present all kinds of benefits (both generally recognized and those that are considered benefits in this community of alcoholic believers).

7. Believers in a more or less pronounced form thank the proclaimer for his wishes and self-poison with alcoholic solutions, drinking them from their vessels. At the same time, those participants in the ritual who drank all the poisonous liquid poured into the vessel reproach those who did not drink it for a weak belief in alcohol and use more or less standard methods of "enlightening" the participants in the action who are suspected of deviating from the alcoholic faith.

8. Additional vessels with alcoholic poison (at the end of the action, the decoration, the shape of these vessels and the origin of the poison no longer have a special meaning) are uncorked as needed, and the actions described in paragraphs 4-7 are repeated, interspersed with often excessive meals and other secondary actions, such as attempts by the participants in the action to communicate with each other, overcoming the ever-increasing clouding of consciousness caused by alcohol.

9. The ritual act usually lasts long until the physical capabilities of alcoholic believers are exhausted or until the supply of alcoholic solutions is depleted. To interrupt the action and spontaneously leave before its end is considered sacrilege.

Some notes on possible modifications to the rite:

• If a 40 percent alcohol solution or more is used, nice clothing and plenty of food are not necessary.

• Taking into account their inner need, alcoholic believers can conduct their ritual acts at any time and in any place. The minimum number of believers to perform the action is 2 people.

In some extreme cases, a particularly religious adept can perform the ceremony alone.
