I explored with my mind how to stimulate my body with wine while my mind was guiding me wisely, and how to take hold of folly, until I could see what good there is for the sons of men to do under heaven the few years of their lives.There's a good bit to unpack there. But if I'm reading this correctly, he's basically exploring being drunk, to understand how it makes him feel. In the process, he also is examining what good there is to do with our lives.
I don't drink, but I do probably spend a lot more time than I should in other forms of pleasure. But that's time that I'm wasting, time which I won't get back. It could be put to more productive uses. I need to focus more on how to do that, rather than what's good for just me.
