There has been some written on this, mainly the description of the god Minlister in WF (reprinted in Wyrms Footprints at page 77-78) and the troll liquors from Troll Pak. I think most people view it as both good and bad, depending on how it's used.

There was some great stuff in the digest a while back about the Burrrruphti, a class of spirits which caused beer to ferment. Try the searchable archive at Loren's web page.

This may be practiced on the theory that one spirit drives out another.
