Reference: Drunkenness
American
Is referred to in the Bible both in single instances and as a habit. Its folly is often illustrated, Ps 107:27; Isa 19:14; 24:20; 28:7-8, its guilt denounced, Isa 5:22, its ill results traced, 1Sa 25:36; 1Ki 16:9; 20:16, and its doom shown, 1Co 6:9-10. It is produced by wine, Ge 9:21; 21:33;
Jer 23:9; Eph 5:18, as well as by "strong drink," 1Sa 1:13-15; Isa 5:11. Hence the use of these was forbidden to the priests at the altar, Le 10:9; and all are cautioned to avoid them, Pr 20:1; 23:20. To tempt others to drunkenness is a sin accursed of God, 2Sa 11:13; Hab 2:15-16. Its prevalence in a community is inseparable from the habitual use of any inebriating liquor. Hence the efforts made by the wise and good to secure abstinence from all intoxicating drinks, 1Co 8:13. See WINE.
