Every time you do you will boast your animal/carnal nature and diminish spiritual and blissful nature that's all that really happens. The same goes if you gorge yourself on food get drunk take drugs or indulge yourself in whatever.

If you're a mess on the inside you will be a mess on the outside as well. The inner reality can define the outer reality. An addiction to various physical pleasures can cause this of course.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
