Sirach 31:28 In-Context

26 A furnace tests the hardening of steel when it's dipped, so wine tests the heart when the arrogant quarrel.

27 If taken in moderation, wine makes people's lives better. What's life to those who don't have wine? It was created from the beginning to bring merriment.

28 The right amount of wine consumed at the right time makes for a joyful heart and a light spirit.

29 Too much wine drunk in the midst of strife and conflict makes for a bitter spirit.

30 Getting drunk causes fools to lose their temper and do themselves harm, reducing their strength, and adding injuries as well.
