Proverbs 31:3-5
New International Version - UK

3 Do not spend your strength[a] on women,
    your vigour on those who ruin kings.

4 It is not for kings, Lemuel –
    it is not for kings to drink wine,
    not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,
    and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
