Alcohol isn't special in this regard. There are many ways to shake oneself out of their standard mental cycles. There are lots of other drugs, and there are also plenty of non-drug techniques and experiences.

Yes, very fair point. (Alcohol is very lindy, though!) Any non-drug techniques in particular you've had good experiences with?

Guided meditation, hiking, hot yoga, intensely practicing music, watching challenging movies, skateboarding, scuba diving, and dance lessons come to mind.
