Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish - We have already seen, that inebriating drinks were mercifully given to condemned criminals, to render them less sensible of the torture they endured in dying. This is what was offered to our Lord; but he refused it. See note on Psalms 104:15.
