Proverbs 20:1-3
The Message

Deep Water in the Heart

20 Wine makes you mean, beer makes you quarrelsome—
    a staggering drunk is not much fun.

2 Quick-tempered leaders are like mad dogs—
    cross them and they bite your head off.

3 It’s a mark of good character to avert quarrels,
    but fools love to pick fights.
