20 People who eat too much get stomach-ache and cannot sleep. If you don't overeat, you can get a good night's sleep and wake up early the next morning feeling fine.
21 But if you do get a stomach-ache from eating too much, go off and vomit and you will feel better.
22 My child, if you listen to what I am saying and put it into practice, one of these days you will thank me for it. Be moderate in everything you do, and you will never be sick.
23 People appreciate a generous host, and he deserves their praise.
24 But everybody in town will complain about a host who is stingy with food, and their complaints are justified.
25 Don't try to prove your manhood by how much you can drink. Wine has been the ruin of many.
26 An arrogant person's character shows through when he is in a drunken argument, in the same way that iron is tested when it is heated red-hot and then dipped in water.
