  Can I take the Fifth Mindfulness Training (the Fifth Precept), and still drink an occasional glass of wine or beer with dinner?

  (taken from Thich Nhat Hanh, For a Future to be Possible, 2007, Appendix

  1, p109-110)

  Thay [Thich] Nhat Hanh advises us not to drink any alcohol,

  if possible. If you still have a strong inclination to drink,

  please do so mindfully. Look deeply into the conditions of

  your liver, your heart, and the fact that humankind is wasting

  a lot of grain and fruit making alcohol instead of feeding

  other humans. Meditating in this way will lead us to feeling

  uncomfortable when drinking any amount of alcohol.
