Kractoid

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I wanted to put myself out there and also ask a question that is relevant to my life right now. What do you all think about the effects of drugs and alcohol, in moderation or otherwise, on ones qi. I know that the Tao is all about the balance of darkness and light. A bit different from my understanding of Buddhism which emphasizes purity and abstinence from all earthly things. I was wondering if anyone has any input on this subject?
