Ben Sira 31:30 In-Context

28 Wine drunk at the proper time and in moderation is rejoicing of heart and gladness of soul.

29 Wine drunk to excess leads to bitterness of spirit, to quarrels and stumbling.

30 Drunkenness increases the anger of a fool to his own hurt, reducing his strength and adding wounds.

31 Do not reprove your neighbor at a banquet of wine, and do not despise him in his merrymaking; speak no word of reproach to him, and do not distress him by making demands of him.
