I'm new to Alchemy. I've been studying The Alchemist Handbook by Frater Albertus and have reached a spot of bother. So far all factors of the process make sense to me except the use of alcohol. It seems to be very important to the work but no explanation is given as to why alcohol specifically. My concerns are both that I am under the legal drinking age and that I fear any experience gained by consuming the created quintessence would only be caused by intoxication.
