King Solomon, the wisest man who EVER lived (1 Ki 3:12), took up heavy drinking for a while -- as an experiment, of course.
Eccl 2:3 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
But he concluded that drunkenness
(and pretty much everything else) was pointless.
Eccl 2:11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
The only way to find meaning and purpose in life is to keep God's commandments.
Eccl 12:3 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
