Regarding Life – the "Resurrection" spell wasn't initially available. "Hand of God" only serves as a backup with a very, very powerful priest (paladin with Combat 5555). Otherwise, the priest will be taken down by level 4 units (Devils, Imps) on the very first turn, considering their initiative.
Nature – with "Antimagic" (if I'm not mistaken, it dispels the target during casting).
And regarding alcohol – it's rare to drink more than once in battle, not counting what's drunk before the battle.
