Sanhedrin 70: Rebellious Sons and Drinking

A new Mishna asks when a rebellious son is actually liable for his actions.  The response is that it is when he drinks a certain amount of Italian wine or when his eats a certain portion of meat.  The rabbis argue about the amount of consumption required.  The rabbis also walk through a number of violations which do not lead to calling him a rebellious son.  

The Gemara discusses different ways of potentially transgressing halachot related to drinking wine.  They are very hesitant to relegate anyone to the status of a rebellious son.  Their discussion includes descriptions of fights between people, always pertaining to to drinking too much wine.  Fights that included sodom, in one case.  There is not much commentary on that particular point.  

The rabbis detail Batsheva's lambasting of her son Solomon regarding his drunken behaviour. She sees drinking as unbefitting of kings.  The rabbis use this story to help us understand the interrelationship between drinking and bad behaviour.
