Ephesians 5:18

The descendants of humans made their way drunk and well-fed, and they asked us to catch a glimpse of him, for he is an alcoholic and a greedy man; he is a companion of the tax collectors and people who commit sinful acts. And even after all that, intelligence and perception are explained through her actions.

You will catch sight of unusual things with your eyes, and your heart will speak out illogical things.
Proverbs 21:17

Corinthians 6:12
“I have the right to do anything,” you say – but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything” – but I will not be mastered by anything.”

Proverbs 31:4
“It is not for kings, Lemuel – it is not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer.”
