Ben Sira 31:28-31 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

28. Joy of heart, good cheer, and delightis wine enough, drunk at the proper time.

29. Headache, bitterness, and disgraceis wine drunk amid anger and strife.

30. Wine in excess is a snare for the fool;it lessens strength and multiplies wounds.

31. Do not wrangle with your neighbor when wine is served,nor despise him while he is having a good time;Say no harsh words to himnor distress him by making demands.
