Intoxication is real as well, but I rarely apply any of my drunken epiphanies when sober.

I understand what point you are trying to make, but it's hardly a fitting analogy, and I don't think it's a fair point.

One is a short-lasting altered state of consciousness.

The other is an idea, a change of perspective that can inspire action and positive lifestyle change. Or perhaps a descent into nihilism, depending on circumstance.
