How do you "solve" a loved one dying or being diagnosed with terminal cancer, for example? Sometimes the issue is a fundamental fact of life that can't be "solved". Psychedelics can help you come to peace with these things and let you live a less painful life (obviously this isn't true for everyone but there are many studies that show it helps for a lot of people).

Alcohol does not make you come to peace with such things, it just makes you forget for a time. Then you eventually have to deal with it again.
