The Sinfulness of Causing Drunkenness
2 Samuel 11:13
And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk…


It is a very wicked thing, under any design whatsoever, to make a person drunk. Woe to him that does so (Habakkuk 2:15-16.) God will put a cup of trembling into the hands of those who put into the hands of others the cup of drunkenness. Robbing a man of Ins reason is worse than robbing him of his money, and drawing him into sin worse than drawing him into any trouble whatsoever.

( M. Henry..)
