Ephesians 5:18

And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
All Commentaries on Ephesians 5:18 Go To Ephesians 5

Ambrosiaster

AD 400
It is good conduct that strikes fear in the wrongdoer. Only one who is sober is prepared to counsel another realistically and with confidence. The person being counseled feels less resentment when he knows how good is the actual conduct of the one who admonishes him. But where there is intoxication there is also debauchery, and debauchery causes base deeds. Therefore it is our duty to be sober, so that the requirements of good conduct may be observed.
