Through drinking the wicked become violent. They are bad enough at best, but drink leads them to violence. No wise man will take wine or liquor. Strong drink leads to poverty. Young men should shun the company of drunkards.
Strong drink produces woe, sorrow, contentions, babbling, wounds without cause, redness of eyes.
We are urged not to look upon intoxicants. It fills men's minds with adulterous and impure thoughts. It brings on insecurity. It brings on insensibility, which paves the way for every evil and dangerous act of the drunkard. It is habit-forming, one drink always calls for another.
