There were two types of Drinks. One is Soma Bana and the other is Sura Bana. The Soma Bana or the Nectar of the Plant Soma was used for Homas and drinking Soma Bana was sanctioned as it is not an Intoxicant. The other is Sura Bana which induces intoxication and it was classified as a Sin to drink it......Those who perform Aabhichara Pooja( the performance of worship where corpses are used often quote this mantra from the Lalita Sahasra Nama. "947 Pancha pretha manchadhi sayini – She who sleeps on the cot made of five corpses". This is literal translation.
