I had a similar thought, and would imagine that alcohol is consumed by at least some social groups within traditions that otherwise prohibit it.
With the Left-Hand Path, since intoxicants can Self-defeat, this is understood as something to be mindful of and avoided.
Really, Gloone, I insist. This IS the Left-Hand Path DIR. Or at least it once was.
Again, would you explain the differences, as you see them, between the LHP & RHP?

Also, please keep in mind this is the Left-Hand Path DIR.

Yes, it's a small city in the American 'bible belt', and it takes very little effort to distinguish one's self from the crowd, Halloween or not. You could just turn a T-Shirt inside out and it would give people something to talk about...
It strains heavily under its own weight of convention...
On further thought I'll just go downtown wearing whatever feels comfortable and check out the freak shows. The cheap costume Baphomet doesn't honor me, and wearing the Pentagram of Set medallion wouldn't honor it. I'm not feeling as Inspired this year as I have in past, but usually that changes...
