Sirach 31:27-29

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁷ Wine is like life to men,
    if you drink it in moderation.
What is life to a man who is without wine?
    It has been created to make men glad.
²⁸ Wine drunk in season and temperately
    is rejoicing of heart and gladness of soul.
²⁹ Wine drunk to excess is bitterness of soul,
    with provocation and stumbling.
