1 Esdras 3:22

22 When people drink they forget to be friendly with friends and kindred, and before long they draw their swords.

1 Esdras 3:22 In-Context

20 It turns every thought to feasting and mirth, and forgets all sorrow and debt.
21 It makes all hearts feel rich, forgets kings and satraps, and makes everyone talk in millions.
22 When people drink they forget to be friendly with friends and kindred, and before long they draw their swords.
23 And when they recover from the wine, they do not remember what they have done.
24 Gentlemen, is not wine the strongest, since it forces people to do these things?" When he had said this, he stopped speaking.
