re: emotional anesthesia
Personally, I prefer my "Out Of Body" experiences to alcohol any day... Alcohol is a whole body anesthesia in the same way morhine is... In both cases any emotional "lights out" is purely incidental and depends on many physical jeopardy and emotional jeopardy state of being issues...
Arguably, sleeping is the most emotionally anesthetic for 100% of everyone, if done properly... Remember the wisdom of the phrase, "I'd better sleep on it..." If someone has to get "tanked" in order to sleep, something needs attention in that life drama-trauma...
Let's all intend to have a happy and dry-clean-sober holidays...

PS: Contrary to popular myth, all drugs and alcohol extiguishes any ability to manage the "Out Of Body" episode... People might find the portal to being "Out Of Body" while under the "influence" of chemicals, and are then emphatic that there is no other way to get there... Some time later they are found dead with a smile on their face... And, that's a shame, since "Out Of Body" can be safely managed without any chemical inducement, and be even more fun to do, with lasting, clear and undistorted memories...
