Drunk like a Skunk? Not Exactly!
There is a Rabbinic legend that when Noah was about to plant his vineyard, Satan (our ever ready "adversary") buried in the soil carcasses of a sheep, a lion, a pig, and a monkey. Why? When a person indulges mildly he becomes sheepish, further indulging makes him feel like a lion. Overindulgence causes him to befoul himself like a pig, and when he becomes roaring drunk he literally "makes a monkey of himself" (Tanḥ., Noaḥ, 14).
Wishing you a safe and sober 2017,
Shabbat Shalom from Jerusalem,
RabbiB
