The drunkard is possessed as long as his drunkenness lasts.
The entire demon of drunkenness enters his head in order to throw him into sin, e.g. fornication, blasphemy, anger, murder, etc.
Drunkenness and drugs are demons.
The demon of drunkenness is greater and stronger than the demon of drugs, but drugs cause more damage than alcohol.
The drunkard, if he does not stop his passion, is condemned.
And indeed, he is condemned directly, he is not even put through the tollhouses!
Drunkenness is counted among the deadly sins.
The Fathers said a saying:
The first glass is of God.
The second is of men.
The third is of reason.
The fourth is of passion, and
the fifth is of the devil.
And from then on, man is drunk…
Elder Ephraim, Skete of Saint Andrew, Mount Athos +
