Proverbs 23:29  ¶Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?

30  They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

31  Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.

32  At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.

Exactly. Those who get obssessed with it - i.e., addicted. The guy I know who drops $100/wk. at bars is definately a poster boy for that verse.

But, those guys don't demonstrate moderation and liberty.
