If you drink right before you meditate, of course you're going to feel a difference. But alcohol gets metabolized by the system fairly quickly, so if you have a shot or two of something before you go to bed, say, at least in my experience, it doesn't affect meditation the next morning. Sometimes I have a drink before bed, sometimes I don't, and I've never noticed any difference. FWIW, a former boyfriend of mine who was a TMer would have profound witnessing experiences if he so much as drank a glass of beer. That's never happened to me! Very different with pot, again in my experience (many years ago).
