People take Lord Shiva as an ordinary demigod and think whatever we do Lord Shiva will be pleased by my activities but it is not, Lord Shiva is a very superior personality in all demigods and He can be only pleased when we do what he likes.
And the best way to please Lord Shiva is to chant the holy names of Lord Krishna (to please Krishna). That is why we see Lord Shiva always busy in their mediation and mediate all the time on Lord Krishna (in the form of Lord Rama).
But in this world normally we see people offer them intoxicated things and take it granted and use it for their own sense gratification but actually in our scripture no where it is mentioned Lord Shiva use intoxicated things although He drunk poison while churning of sea ocean and no one can drink a small portion of it.
Lord Shiva can give anything what we want but he has very valuable asset which He rarely disclose with everyone and that is pure devotion because He is pure devotee of Lord Krishna as it is mentioned in Srimad Bhagwatam (12.13.16) ;
निम्नगानां यथा गङ्गा देवानामच्युतो यथा ।
वैष्णवानां यथा शम्भु: पुराणानामिदं तथा ॥ १६ ॥
Just as the Ganga is the greatest of all rivers, Lord Acyuta the supreme among deities and Lord Sambhu [Lord Shiva] the greatest of Vaishnavas, so Srimad-Bhagavatam is the greatest of all Puranas.
So it is our duty to understand what Lord Shiva can give to us and how we can please Him?
If we want to please Lord Shiva then we have to please Lord Krishna and if we want to please Krishna we must respect Lord Shiva as we see in Sri Ram Charit Manas it is mentioned;
शिव द्रोही मम दास कहावा ! सो नर मोहि सपनेहुँ नहिं भावा !!
The person who disrespect Shiva is not very dear to my (and can not be my pure devotee).
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.
Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare.
Happy Maha Shivratri.
