I am a Brahmin from Bhardwaaj Gotra. Our Isht Devi is Godess Kaali and Isht Deva is Lord Shiva. I do not eat meat but consume alcohol as this is offered to both my Isht Devi and Deva. I hope you know as a practicing Hindu that whatever is offered in Yagna to Lord Indra and Agni, has to be consumed by all including the priest himself. In our special Yagnas for our Isht Devi, we offer alcohol and also to Lord Bhairav who is a manifestation of Lord Shiva. I am not doing anything against my religious belief. Regarding going to temples, My own family has built two of them for Lord Shiva in Delhi. Second one by my late father.
