7 But they also (A)have erred through wine,
And through intoxicating drink are out of the way;

They are swallowed up by wine,
They are out of the way through intoxicating drink;
They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

Habakkuk 2:15-16
New King James Version
15 “Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor,
[a]Pressing him to your (A)bottle,
Even to make him drunk,
That you may look on [b]his nakedness!
16 You are filled with shame instead of glory.
You also—drink!
And [c]be exposed as uncircumcised!
The cup of the Lord’s right hand will be turned against you,
And utter shame will be on your glory.

Proverbs 23:29-35
New King James Version
29 (A)Who has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions?
Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who (B)has redness of eyes?
30 (C)Those who linger long at the wine,
Those who go in search of (D)mixed wine.
31 Do not look on the wine when it is red,
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it [a]swirls around smoothly;
32 At the last it bites like a serpent,
And stings like a viper.
33 Your eyes will see strange things,
And your heart will utter perverse things.
34 Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the [b]midst of the sea,
Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:
35 “They(E) have struck me, but I was not hurt;
They have beaten me, but I did not feel it.
When shall (F)I awake, that I may seek another drink?”

Genesis 19:31-36
New King James Version
31 Now the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man on the earth (A)to come in to us as is the custom of all the earth. 32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we (B)may preserve the [a]lineage of our father.” 33 So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
34 It happened on the next day that the firstborn said to the younger, “Indeed I lay with my father last night; let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve the [b]lineage of our father.” 35 Then they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
36 Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.
