This is another one where I don't really partake that often, so I didn't feel like I was missing much.
Many (if not most?) alcoholic beverages are high in calories, and considering that your body treats alcohol like a toxin, it's not particularly good for you.
The gratitude for alcohol would be simply the pleasure it gives you when you have that kind-of warm, melty feeling, a "buzz". This is definitely another category of food that could be left off the list if you choose. If you instead decide to partake, try to take your time and really savor the experience. (Wine especially seems suited for this.) I guess I'm not exactly targeting frat party-goers, here. Mindfulness, an idea which comes from Buddhism, doesn't really seem to go hand-in-hand with drinking.
Well, unless you consider this link:

I dunno... I suppose you can find what you're looking for somewhere on Google. :)
