The Cup of God's Wrath
Commentators explain that the phrase "made them drunk" is a powerful metaphor. It doesn't refer to intoxication with alcohol, but to God forcing His enemies to drink the "cup" of His divine fury to its very dregs. Scholars like John Gill and Matthew Henry note that this same imagery is used in the book of Revelation to describe the final judgment of evil.
