Proverbs 23:29 in context

The verses around it, from Proverbs 23.

25 May your father and mother be glad, and may she who gave you birth rejoice!

26 My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes delight in my ways.

27 For a prostitute is a deep pit, and an adulteress is a narrow well.

28 Like a robber she lies in wait and multiplies the faithless among men.

29 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has complaints? Who has needless wounds? Who has bloodshot eyes?

30 Those who linger over wine, who go to taste mixed drinks.

31 Do not gaze at wine while it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly.

32 In the end it bites like a snake and stings like a viper.

33 Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will utter perversities.
