### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: A Nazirite, who takes a special vow, must stay away from wine, strong drink and anything from the grape. Interpretation: Tradition reads this ban as a way to keep the Nazirite holy and self-controlled, and to keep him far from anything that might lead to excess. In the primary lessons: in old stories, liquor is a drink poured out for guests; in the lessons it is a strong drink that can harm people.

### examples
