Pr 23:29-35 (NIV) Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine.

They beat me, but I don't feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?"Isa 5:11-12 (NIV) Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks, who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine.
