4 dig one's grave with one's teeth

погубить себя неумеренностью в еде [этим. фр. les gourmands font leurs fosses avec leurs dents гурманы роют себе могилу собственными зубами]

(A. J. Cronin, ‘Adventures in Two Worlds’, ch. 28) — Мне попадались такие любители поесть, такие обжоры, для которых жирная еда, пряные соусы, трюфели, пироги и пирожные были слишком большим соблазном, и они рыли себе могилу собственными зубами.
