This term similarly conveys the idea of excessive drinking and is used in various passages to warn against the dangers of drunkenness (e.g., Proverbs 20:1).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "oinopotés" refers to a person who habitually drinks wine to excess, commonly translated as "drunkard" in English. It is used in the New Testament to describe individuals who indulge in excessive drinking, which is often associated with a lack of self-control and moral decay.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, wine was a common beverage, often consumed with meals. While moderate wine consumption was socially acceptable and even encouraged for health reasons, excessive drinking was frowned upon and associated with moral and social decline. The early Christian community, influenced by Jewish teachings, emphasized sobriety and self-control, viewing drunkenness as contrary to a life of holiness and discipline.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3631.htm">oinos</a> and potés (a drinker)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wine drinker<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>drunkard (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3630: οἰνοπότης</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">οἰνοπότης</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὀινοποτου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="greek2">οἶνος</span>, and <span class="greek2">πότης</span> a drinker), <span class="accented">a winebibber, given to wine</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/11-19.htm">Matthew 11:19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/7-34.htm">Luke 7:34</a>.
