In context
27Wine is as good as life to a man, if it be drunk moderately: What life is then to a man that is without wine? For it was made to make men glad.
28Wine measurably drunk and in season Bringeth gladness of the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind:
— Sirach 34:29 —
30Drunkenness increaseth the rage of a fool till he offend: It diminisheth strength, and maketh wounds.
31Rebuke 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.
