Encouragement yes, command no. Not that we should be drunk, no, but there's
no direct command specific to that. Least not that I know of, but yes we're
told not to anyway. The point yet is these are things we ought , or ought
not do, and if we do, or do not do them, in either case we reap their
benefit or detriment. There are tons and tons of wisdom, advice, counsel,
encouragement and out right scolding for various behaviors. Do not be a
glutton, do not drink strong drink, do not spare the rod, do not be lazy,
be a giver not a taker, help those who need it, pray for your enemies, on
and on and on and on, why is food so different for people to swallow?
Cheezy pun eh? Oops sorry about the Cheezy reference too, I better go now
I'm starting to talk like a sausage, oops there I go again, I'm driving my
self bananas. lol
