"Be not among winebibbers, Among gluttonous eaters of flesh:" — Proverbs 23:20 (ASV)
Be not amongst winebibbers
Who drink to excess, otherwise wine may be drunk, provided moderation is used; but it is not good to be in company with excessive drinkers of it, lest a habit of excessive drinking be acquired;
among riotous eaters of flesh ;
flesh may be lawfully eaten, but not in a riotous manner, so as to indulge to gluttony and surfeiting; nor should such persons be kept company with those who do so, lest their ways be learned and imitated.
