Actually, he's comparing the behavior of fools and wise/rich men. This verse doesn't seem to hold any particular sarcasm.

Either way, Psalm 104 suggests wine is one of god's gifts.

14 He makes grass grow for the cattle,
and plants for man to cultivate-
bringing forth food from the earth:
15 wine that gladdens the heart of man,
oil to make his face shine,
and bread that sustains his heart.

Like I said, we could probably do this all day, but justifying drinking isn't really my point. My point is that the bible doesn't wholly condemn drinking, nor does anything anywhere leave judgement up to us. There is nothing that will turn me personally away from Christian rhetoric faster than those who spout it and use it to judge, especially those who have no experience whatsoever with what they are judging.

Besides, it's just a T-shirt, d00d! Can you think of a more passive aggressive attention getter?

I'm just sayin.
