Proverbs 23:29-35

29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?
30 Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.
31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!
32 In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange sights, and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.
35 “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt! They beat me, but I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”

  • Woe is trouble, and drunkenness brings lots of trouble and of all kinds.
  • Sorrow is grief, misery, and regret, and too much wine will bring them.
  • Strife / Contentions are fights and arguments, and over-drinking will cause both.
  • Babbling / complaints is altered speech so as not to make sense, and drunkenness will bring that on as well.
Christians are told to reject the mood alterations of drunkenness and to instead choose the filling of the Holy Spirit. There is no bite or sting in the Holy Spirit: there is joy and peace in believing: there is singing from a melody in your heart
