### [93.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.93.22)

酒能亂人心　令人如羊等  
不知作不作　如是應捨酒  
若酒醉之人　如死人無異  
若欲常不死　彼人應捨酒  
酒是諸過處　每常不饒益  
一切惡道階　黑暗所在處  
飲酒到地獄　亦到餓鬼處  
行於畜生業　是酒過所誑  
酒為毒中毒　地獄中地獄  
病中之大病　是智者所說  
若人飲酒者　無因緣歡喜  
無因緣而瞋　無因緣作惡  
於佛所生癡　壞世出世事  
燒解脫如火　所謂酒一法  
若人能捨酒　正行於法戒  
彼到第一處　無死無生處

> "Liquor can confuse a person's mind,  
> Making people like sheep and the like;  
> Not knowing what should or should not be done,  
> Thus one should abandon liquor.  
> If a person is drunk on liquor,  
> They are no different from a dead person;  
> If one wishes never to die,  
> That person should abandon liquor.  
> Liquor is the abode of all faults,  
> Always bringing no benefit;  
> The stairway to all evil destinies,  
> The place where darkness resides.  
> Drinking liquor leads to hell,  
> And also leads to the realm of hungry ghosts;  
> Engaging in the karma of beasts,  
> One is deceived by the fault of liquor.  
> Liquor is the poison among poisons,  
> The hell within hells;  
> The great illness among illnesses—  
> This is what the wise have taught.  
> If a person drinks liquor,  
> They become joyful without cause;  
> They become angry without cause,  
> And perform evil without cause.  
> Toward the Buddha they give rise to folly,  
> Destroying worldly and supramundane matters;  
> It burns liberation like fire:  
> Namely, this single phenomenon of liquor.  
> If a person can abandon liquor,  
> And practice the Dharma and precepts correctly,  
> They will reach the foremost place,  
> The place free from death and free from birth."
