Proverbs 31:4 - The Message

"Leaders can’t afford to make fools of themselves,
   gulping wine and swilling beer,
Lest, hung over, they don’t know right from wrong,
   and the people who depend on them are hurt.
Use wine and beer only as sedatives,
   to kill the pain and dull the ache
Of the terminally ill,
   for whom life is a living death.
