1 Esdras 3:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ It changes every thought to feasting and cheerfulness, and forgets all grief and every obligation. ²¹ It fattens all hearts, makes one remember neither kings nor administrators, and makes everyone talk in outrageous sums. ²² When drinking, people forget to be civil even with their friends and relatives, and after a while they draw their swords.
