Leviticus 10:9-10
9 a“Drink no wine or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting, lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations. 10You are to bdistinguish between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean,1 Kings 20:12

16And they went out at noon, while Ben-hadad dwas drinking himself drunk in the booths, he and the thirty-two kings who helped him. 17The servants of the governors of the districts went out first. And Ben-hadad sent out scouts, and they reported to him, “Men are coming out from Samaria.” 18He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive. Or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”19So these went out of the city, the servants of the governors of the districts and the army that followed them. 20And each struck down his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them, but Ben-hadad king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.

Isaiah 28:7-8
7 hThese also reel with wineand istagger with strong drink;
the priest and jthe prophet reel with strong drink,
they are swallowed by ▼
▼Or confused by
wine,they stagger with strong drink,
they reel in vision,
they stumble in giving judgment.
8For all tables are full of filthy vomit,
with no space left.
