Fights and commotion in the live music very often in the news media coverage. The cause is usually very trivial, that is another bumper or taunted each other. However, the main trigger is because they are allegedly under the influence of liquor. Drinks that make them unable to control himself and easy to act out of control.

It feels a bit strange when the orders do not get drunk with wine filled contrasted with the Holy Spirit (verse 18). However, they did have a similar subject matter, namely: both mastered by anything. People who are under the control or influence of wine usually can not control themselves. Words and actions will lead to chaos and confusion. Meanwhile, people who held or filled with the Holy Spirit will increasingly be able to control myself. He will be able to manage his life well; words and actions will be more in tune with the personality of God. The phrase: "Be ye filled with the Holy Spirit" in the original grammar uses the verb form plural passive imperative. That is, we can not avoid it, applies to everyone, and not have to spell or special formula to experience it. It is a willingness to submit to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
