Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it glides down smoothly. In the end it bites like a serpent and stings like a viper.
Proverbs 23:31-32 TLV

Keep everything in its proper place: money, food, sex, medicine, approval, alcohol, tradition, politics...everything. All things are useful tools if maintained and used properly, but all things are also instruments of death and enslavement if misused.
