Ezekiel 23:33

Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
31

Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.

32

Thus saith the Lord God; Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.

33

Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

34

Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

35

Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

Counter-Arguments

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

Drunkenness Condemned

The verse describes a state of being "filled with drunkenness and sorrow" as a consequence, not a direct condemnation of the act of drinking itself. The "cup of astonishment and desolation" is a metaphor for judgment, not a literal cup of alcohol.
