From Hebrew Scriptures:

6
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter in soul;
7
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

Things that make you go hmmmmm.

Yes. It’s talking about getting drunk. The bible has a couple of things to say about gluttony as well. It always cracks me up when one of my fat baptist brethren tells me people shouldn’t drink ANY alcohol. I avoid the obvious accusation I could make because of that whole “judge not, lest ye be judged.” thing. It’s kinda funny though.
