The Fifth Precept

22. Whoever follows the Dhamma
Should take no drink or encourage others to drink,
Knowing that intoxication is the result.
Because of intoxication,

The fool commits evil deeds
And makes others negligent too.
So, avoid this root of wrong,
This folly loved only by fools.

Sutta Nipata 398-399
