He who is addicted (to wine) does not understand what is right and what is wrong, what is true happiness and what is unhappiness, what is beneficial and what is non-beneficial (for the present and future lives), or what is suitable and what is unsuitable (to his health, right living, etc.). With these bad effects, how could a wise person ever indulge in it?

यत्रैकः स्मृतिविभ्रंशस्तत्र सर्वमसाधु यत् । अयुक्तियुक्तमन्नं हि व्याधये मरणाय वा ॥ १० ॥
When loss of memory (awareness of surroundings, common sense, etc.) alone is present, then all the activities of the person become improper (what to say when all the other evils are present as well). Even normal food, if partaken in a wrong way, leads to either disease or death.
