This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Be not drunken with wine (mē methuskesthe oinōi). Present passive imperative of methuskō, old verb to intoxicate. Forbidden as a habit and to stop it also if guilty. Instrumental case oinōi.

Riot (asōtia). Old word from asōtos (adverb asōtōs in Luk 15:13), in N.T. only here, Tit 1:6; 1Pe 4:4.

But be filled with the Spirit (alla plērousthe en pneumati). In contrast to a state of intoxication with wine.
