While you can drink enough to damage your spirit, drinking too much does not require a spiritual malady.
You could drink or use to problematic levels because: your spirit has a malady, you were abused, you are over-anxious, you are depressed, etc. But, please do not overlook the fact that some folks simply find it very pleasurable before all the side effects kick in.
If you're religious, by all means seek holy healing. Just dont suggest that thinkers to stop thinking.
