Strong's Lexicon methuskó: To make drunk, to intoxicate Original Word: μεθύσκω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word μέθυ (methy), meaning "wine." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with drunkenness is שָׁכַר (shakar), Strong's Hebrew 7937, which also means to become drunk or intoxicated. Usage: The verb "methuskó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of making someone drunk or intoxicated. It often carries a negative connotation, warning against excessive drinking and the loss of self-control that accompanies drunkenness. The term is used both literally, in the context of physical intoxication, and metaphorically, to describe spiritual or moral stupor. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, wine was a common beverage, and its consumption was a regular part of social and religious life. However, excessive drinking and drunkenness were often frowned upon, as they led to a loss of dignity and self-control. The early Christian community, influenced by Jewish teachings, emphasized moderation and self-discipline, viewing drunkenness as contrary to a life led by the Spirit.
