Matthew 24:49

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

Ver. 49. To eat and drink with the drunken ] Though he neither be drunk himself, not make others drunk, yet to be among wine bibbers and flesh mongers, as Solomon hath it,Proverbs 23:20; Proverbs 23:20 , to company with such as a frequent and immoderate bibber, as Peter’s word ( εν ποτοις ) importeth, 1 Peter 4:3 ; to drink ad numerum, as Bullinger expresseth it, though there follow not an utter alienation of mind, this is here threatened. Excessive drinking is drunkenness, Eph 5:18 though men be strong to bear it,Isaiah 5:22; Isaiah 5:22 .
