28
Wine measurably drunk and in season bringeth gladness of the heart and cheerfulness of the mind,
29
but wine drunken with excess maketh bitterness of the mind with brawling and quarreling.
30
Drunkenness increaseth the rage of a fool till he offend; it diminisheth strength and maketh wounds.
31
Rebuke not thy neighbor at the wine, and despise him not in his mirth; give him no despiteful words, and press not upon him with urging him to drink.
