To me, one of the strongest pieces of evidence that the mind is the result of material processes is the existence of mind-altering drugs. Since the mind can be altered in countless ways by various chemicals put into our bodies, or temporarily suppressed entirely (e.g. general anesthetics), it seems hard to argue that the mind is actually some ethereal thing that exists in a realm "outside" the brain. How could a metaphysical "soul", for example, get drunk on alcohol?

First of all, you are confusing the mind and the soul. They are two distinct entities. I would be happy to explain them to you if you want.
