ความติดยา เป็นหัวข้อในพระคัมภีร์

Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!

I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)

They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
