Ministry on This Verse

 {v.30-35} Indulgence in the pleasures of the wine-cup to inebriation, is a prolific cause of human sorrow. Drunkenness is one of the greatest curses of the ages, yet it is a sin that seems ever seductive and attractive to the convivially inclined. Throwing to one side all restraint, such a one is allured by the sparkle of the bubbling liquor. (Proverbs Twenty-Three by H.A. Ironside)
