Speaking about the coming of God's Kingdom, and how important it is to be spiritually awake when it arrives, Jesus says at Luke 21:34-36KJV "...And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares...('Surfeit' means: "stuff or gorge"... over-indulgence in eating or drinking)(Proverbs 25:16).
**Overeating is a type of greed, and can become "gluttony", a serious sin against God, involving REGULARLY eating and drinking to excess (Proverbs 23:20).
It shows a self-centered attitude, demonstrating greed, a deep lack of self control, even 'idolatry' in some cases, and was often worthy of the death penalty in Bible days(Deuteronomy 21:18-21)(Proverbs 28:7)(Proverbs 23:21).
Drunkenness is also a type of gluttony, and those guilty of it, were removed from early Christian congregations to keep them from bringing reproach on God's name (1Corinthians 5:11-13)(1Corinthians 6:9-11) . It would be viewed by God, the same way today, as God does NOT change(Malachi 3:6)(James 1:17)
