"Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap.
Definitely not a positive statement about alcohol. He is stating that it weights down the heart. In other words makes one think less with a human conscience.
But look at the truth in that. One thinks without a human conscience and then in the same sentence stated by Jesus Christ experiences anxiety.
