Ecclesiasticus 31:29 Context

²⁷Wine is as good as life to a man if it be drunke moderatly: what life is then to a man that is without wine? for it was made to make men glad. ²⁸Wine measurably drunke, and in season, bringeth gladnesse of the heart and cheerefulnesse of the minde. ²⁹But wine drunken with excesse, maketh bitternesse of the minde, with brawling and quarreling. ³⁰Drunkennesse increaseth the rage of a foole till he offend, it diminisheth strength, and maketh wounds. ³¹Rebuke not thy neighbour at the wine, and despise him not in his mirth: giue him no despitefull words, and presse not vpon him with vrging him (to drinke.)
