天主教教理 卷三 第二部份 第二章:
節德使人避免各式各樣過度的行為,如過度飲食,濫用煙、酒和藥物等。凡在酒醉的狀態下或由於過分的喜好快速,在路上、海中或空中使他人和自己的安全陷於危險的行為,都構成嚴重的罪過。
The virtue of temperance disposes us to avoid every kind of excess: the abuse of food, alcohol, tobacco, or medicine. Those incur grave guilt who, by drunkenness or a love of speed, endanger their own and others' safety on the road, at sea, or in the air.
(CCC 2290).
