Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 20:1 Go To Proverbs 20
Pachomius the Great
AD 348
As it is said, “The priest and the prophet were deranged by wine.” “Wine is licentious, drunkenness is bold. The person who indulges in them will not be exempt from sin.” Wine is a good thing if you drink it with moderation. “If you set your eyes on cups and goblets you will walk naked as a pestle.” Therefore, all who have prepared to become disciples of Jesus should abstain from wine and drunkenness.
