I would appreciate any thoughts on the lexical distinction between the
bishop qualification MH PAROINON (1 Tim. 3:3, "not given to wine/much
wine/drunkenness") and MH OINW POLLW PROSECONTAS (v. 8, "not applying
oneself to much wine"), a qualification of deacons. 

BAGD translates both as "addicted to wine," but I wonder if some
distinction exists between the two, and for that matter, MEQH (Lk 21:34, et
al.) and OINOFLUGIA (1 Pet. 4:3).

Thanks.
Jason
