“I drink and I know things” -- Tyrion Lannister
Sometimes you need to step outside yourself and let your guard down on your normal routine to see things more clearly.
Humans and sedation have always been a part of one another, it can lead to realizations. A good place or group of friends/debaters can help understanding, analysis and lead to quality of life improvements.
Sometimes you need to take the scenic route and just take it in to see things from a new perspective more open than closed.
