Isaiah 5:11
"Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning,.... To rise up early in the morning is healthful, and to rise to do business is commendable; but to spend

the day in drunkenness and intemperance is very criminal, which is here meant: that they may follow, strong drink; not only drink it, but follow on to drink; diligently seek after it, where the best is to be had; go from house to house till they have found it; closely follow the drinking of it, till inebriated with it: that continue until night; at their pots, with their drinking companions, even all the day till night comes, the twilight either of the evening or of the morning: till wine inflame them; their bodies with heat, and their souls with lust.
