I guess drunkenness is rageful, violent, and of course the big clue vomitting....

Maybe others can fill in the blanks.. I am sure there are more... But how does one know if they have eaten to much? A Glutton which is the same as Drunkenness but for Drink....

I guess what I'm getting at is, how far can one drink without getting drunk? I know the Bible speaks against drunkenness, and as believers we are told to do all things in moderation. So, could a believer drink until their heart was merry? How does that relate to drunkenness?
