Should I take drugs or alcohol offered to me, thinking it to be God's will?

[Kum. Thrylokya asked: Pādanamaskaram Swami! Lord Jesus submitted to the will of God at the time of His crucifixion. You have said that we should submit to the will of God by accepting both rewards and punishments in life, without any resistance. Suppose, someone offers me drugs or alcohol, why should I not take it, thinking that it must be the will of God? Why should I not think that God wants me to taste everything in life? Kindly enlighten me. -At Your Divine Lotus Feet, Thrylokya.]

Swami replied: God has clearly instructed what is good and what is bad in the ethical scriptures. Hence, there is no question of assuming the bad to be the will of God. The clear mention in the scripture is more authoritative than your assumptions about God.
