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
Ephrem The Syrian
AD 373
Those who eat the heavenly bread become heavenly without doubt! Wine teaches us in that it makes those who are familiar with it like itself: for it hates those who are fond of it and is intoxicating and maddening and a mocker of them.
