Isaiah 5:11

11 Those who get up early to drink beer are as good as dead,
Heb “Woe [to] those who arise early in the morning, [who] chase beer.”

those who keep drinking long after dark
until they are intoxicated with wine.
Heb “[who] delay until dark, [until] wine enflames them.”
This verse does not condemn drinking per se, but refers to the carousing lifestyle of the rich bureaucrats, made possible by wealth taken from the poor. Their carousing is not the fundamental problem, but a disgusting symptom of the real disease – their social injustice.
