What does the Bible say about drunkenness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible condemns drunkenness as a serious sin that leads to destruction and loss of reason (Proverbs 20:1).

The Bible presents drunkenness as a grave sin, illustrating its devastating effects on individuals and communities. In Proverbs 20:1, it states, 'Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.' This highlights the folly and danger associated with excessive drinking. Furthermore, the story of Noah in Genesis 9:20-21 serves as a cautionary tale about how even the righteous can fall prey to the temptation of drunkenness, illustrating that no one is immune to sin, regardless of their past faithfulness or relationship with God.
