They gloried in it as a great accomplishment, that they were able to bear a great deal of strong liquor, without being overcome by it. Let drunkards know from this Scripture that —

1. They ungratefully abuse their bodily strength, which God hath given them for good purposes, and by degrees cannot but weaken it.

2. It will not excuse them from the guilt of drunkenness that they can drink hard, and yet keep their feet.

3. Those that boast of their drinking down others glory in their shame.

4. How light soever men make of their drunkenness, it is a sin which will certainly lay them open to the wrath and curse of God.

( M. Henry.)
