43. Luk_21:34
Luke 21:34 : “Surfeiting and drunkenness,” literally, in debauch and drunkenness. Robinson, “properly, seizure of the head: hence intoxication.”
Christ here warns equally against being “overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life.” This text decides nothing in respect to wine which would not intoxicate, but warns against the drinks that would. Nor does it bear upon the propriety of moderate drinking.
