God's Word
Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine. Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly! In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper. Your eyes will see strange sights and your mind imagine confusing things. You will be like one sleeping on the high seas,lying on top of the rigging. "They hit me," you will say, "but I'm not hurt! They beat me, but I don't feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?"Proverbs 23:29-35
NIV

I love this passage of Scripture because it clearly reveals that our God is aware of patterns of addictive behaviors.
I put this Proverb to music in bar room jazz style and it streams on youtube, hope you can enjoy it once you get past the last verse of Steely Dan intro comments in the wrong key sig, here:
