Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Final Resurrection

This verse does not directly support the theme of "Final Resurrection" because it presents the *absence* of a resurrection as a premise for a different conclusion ("let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die"), rather than affirming the resurrection itself. The resurrection is mentioned hypothetically as something that *might not* happen, not as a definite future event.

Total Abstinence

The verse mentions eating and drinking as a consequence of a belief system ("if the dead rise not"), not as a command or warning against alcohol itself. The phrase "eat and drink" is presented as a logical outcome of a nihilistic worldview, rather than a specific injunction about beverage choices.
