When I was a kid, my brother and I found and old magazine from the 50’s. It had an article that described a yogi that could drink a glass of battery acid and then eat the glass. The fact that someone can develop the mind/body control to accomplish this is interesting, but it is not something I wish to replicate.
Health is not a destination, it is a way of living. For me the path of least resistance is to let go of the desire to drink. Why make it more difficult? Would I feel like a champ if I could drink again?
Like two golden birds on the selfsame tree,
the ego and the Self dwell in the same body.
The former eats the sweet and sour fruits of
the tree of life, while the latter looks on in
detachment.
The Mundaka Upanishad
