Running long distances and surfing are each a thousand times better than alcohol, addicting, and will change your life for the better instead of for the worse.

Uh, no. I spoke of positive spiritual and mental effects of things like running and surfing, not their well-documented health benefits.

I appriciate the mentality. Of course I cycle a lot and it has great benefits, but I think it can only rise your overall happiness and that is different then just having a drink get relaxed and feel good at a party. I don't have social anxiety anymore since I am healthy, but still a drink can have great effects on me when I go out.

Homeopathy has positive spiritual benefits too.

Define spiritual, explain how it cures pancreatitis, then we can talk.
