Proverbs 20:1

Wine is a blasphemer—strong drinks make noise (are loud),
and those who allow themselves to be led astray (stagger, become drunk) by alcohol are not wise.
["Wine is a blasphemer" – those who are influenced by it ridicule, mock, mock, speak disparagingly about a thing or a person. Under the influence of alcohol, people become unwise and many mistakes are made. See also Prov 23:29–35.]
