又智度論云。飲酒有三十五過失。何等三十五。答曰。一現世財物虛竭。何以故。飲酒醉亂心無節限。用費無度故。二眾病之門。三鬪諍之本。四裸露無恥。五醜名惡露人所不敬。六無復智慧。七應所得物而不得已。所得物而散失。八伏匿之事盡向人說。九種種事業廢不成辦。十醉為愁本何以故。醉中多失醒則慚愧憂愁。十一身力轉少。十二身色壞。十三不知敬父。十四不知敬母。十五不敬沙門。十六不敬婆羅門。十七不敬叔伯及尊長。何以故。醉悶憒惱無所別故。十八不尊敬佛。十九不敬法。二十不敬僧。二十一近朋黨惡人。二十二疏遠賢善。二十三作破戒人。二十四無慚愧。二十五不守六情。二十六縱色放逸。二十七人所憎惡不喜見之。二十八貴重親屬及諸知識所共擯棄。二十九行不善法。三十棄捨善法。三十一明人智士所不信用。何以故。酒放逸故。三十二遠離涅槃。三十三種狂癡因緣。三十四身壞命終墮惡道泥犁中。三十五若得為人所生之處常當狂騃。如是種種過失。是故不飲酒。

Furthermore, the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra states: Drinking alcohol has thirty-five faults. What are the thirty-five? The answer is: First, one's present-life wealth is exhausted. Why is this? Because when drunk and disordered, one's mind knows no limits and one's expenditures are without moderation. Second, it is the gateway to manifold illnesses. Third, it is the root of quarreling and contention. Fourth, naked exposure without shame. Fifth, an ugly reputation and bad exposure, so that people do not respect one. Sixth, no longer having wisdom. Seventh, things that ought to be gained are not gained, and things that have been gained are scattered and lost. Eighth, hidden secrets are all revealed to others. Ninth, manifold tasks are abandoned and not accomplished. Tenth, drunkenness is the root of sorrow. Why is this? Because while drunk one incurs many losses, and once sober one feels shame and sorrow. Eleventh, physical strength progressively decreases. Twelfth, the complexion of the body deteriorates. Thirteenth, one does not know to respect one's father. Fourteenth, one does not know to respect one's mother. Fifteenth, one does not respect śramaṇas. Sixteenth, one does not respect brāhmaṇas. Seventeenth, one does not respect uncles and elders. Why is this? Because when drunk, confused, and bewildered, one makes no distinctions. Eighteenth, one does not venerate the Buddha. Nineteenth, one does not respect the Dharma. Twentieth, one does not respect the Saṅgha. Twenty-first, one associates with cliques of evil people. Twenty-second, one alienates the worthy and good. Twenty-third, one becomes a breaker of the precepts. Twenty-fourth, one lacks shame and conscience. Twenty-fifth, one does not guard the six sense faculties. Twenty-sixth, one indulges in sensual pleasures and negligence. Twenty-seventh, one is detested by people, who dislike seeing one. Twenty-eighth, one is rejected in common by respected relatives and all good friends. Twenty-ninth, one practices unwholesome dharmas. Thirtieth, one abandons wholesome dharmas. Thirty-first, one is not trusted by clear-minded and wise people. Why is this? Because alcohol causes negligence. Thirty-second, one remains far from nirvāṇa. Thirty-third, one plants the causes and conditions for madness and delusion. Thirty-fourth, when the body breaks up at the end of life, one falls into the evil destinies in hell. Thirty-fifth, if one manages to become a human, wherever one is born one is constantly mad and foolish. Such are the manifold faults. For these reasons, one must not drink alcohol.
