The Bible also emphasizes the destructive nature of intoxication. In Proverbs 4:17, it is written, "They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence." This verse illustrates how excessive drinking can lead to violent and wicked behaviour. Furthermore, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds believers that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and that they should not destroy their bodies through sinful behaviour, including excessive drinking.
