1 ὑδροποτέω
ὑδροποτέω (ὕδωρ, πίνω; cp. οἰνοποτέω Pr 31:4; opp. οἴνῳ διαχρῆσθαι Hdt. 1, 71, 2; X., Cyr. 6, 2, 26; Pla., Rep. 8, 561c; Epict. 3, 13, 21, cp. 3, 14, 4; Aelian, VH 2, 38 μὴ ὁμιλεῖν οἴνῳ ἀλλὰ ὑδροποτεῖν; Lucian, Bis Accus. 16; Da 1:12) to prefer water for drinking, drink (only) water of an abstemious way of life μηκέτι ὑδροπότει, ἀλλὰ οἴνῳ ὀλίγῳ χρῶ 1 Ti 5:23. The directive is apparently designed to counteract extreme asceticism and attendant criticism of Christians for aloofness to public life (cp. ὑδροπότης in the sense of ‘spoilsport’, as in our colloq. ‘party-pooper’, Anth. Pal. 11, 20).—DELG s.v. ὕδωρ and πίνω. M-M.
