Drunkenness. This Greek word means overindulgence in alcohol. Alcohol may be used for medicine, but it can also become a terrible drug. The way it is used in our world is probably one of the great evils of our day. It is a self-inflicted impediment that springs from a man taking a drink, a drink taking a drink, and drink taking the man.Distilled liquors as we have them today were unknown in Bible times.12
