And do not be drunk with wine...but be filled with the Spirit." (Eph 5:18)

 “When the apostles came forward on Pentecost Day, for the first time filled with the Holy Spirit...others mocked and said "They are full of sweet wine." ...This was the explanation. But it is inadequate, because, strangely enough, they were not this way only in the morning, no - if they were drunk - they were still drunk in the evening; and it was not only that morning, no - if they were drunk - they were also drunk the next morning and the evening of the next morning, and a month later, and twenty years afterward, and even in the hour of death they were filled with the sweet wine that they, according to the mockers explanation...must have drunk that morning.”
- Soren Kierkegaard in Judge for Yourself!
