Contextual Overview
9 So Hannah got up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. ‘Eli the cohen was sitting on his seat by the doorpost of the temple of Adonai . 10 In deep depression she prayed to Adonai and cried. 11 Then she took a vow; she said, " Adonai -Tzva'ot, if you will notice how humiliated your servant is, if you will remember me and not forget your servant but will give your servant a male child, then I will give him to Adonai for as long as he lives; and no razor will ever come on his head." 12 She prayed for a long time before Adonai ; and as she did so, ‘Eli was watching her mouth. 13 Hannah was speaking in her heart — her lips moved, but her voice could not be heard — so ‘Eli thought she was drunk. 14 ‘Eli said to her, "How long are you going to stay drunk? Stop drinking your wine!" 15 But Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a very unhappy woman. I have not drunk either wine or other strong liquor; rather, I've been pouring out my soul before Adonai . 16 Don't think of your servant as a worthless woman; because I have been speaking from the depth of my distress and anger." 17 Then ‘Eli replied, "Go in peace. May the God of Isra'el grant what you have asked of him." 18 She replied, "May your servant find favor in your sight." So the woman went on her way, and she ate, and her face was no longer sad.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Eli said unto her, how long wilt thou be drunken?.... What, every day drunk? what, continually in this wicked practice? when will it be stopped? for Eli might have observed on other days, and at other times, odd looks, and a strange behaviour in her, which he took for the effects of drinking too much wine: or how long will this drunken fit last? she had been a considerable time as he thought in it, and it was not gone off yet: the Targum is,
"how long wilt thou behave like a fool, or a mad woman?''
as drunken people generally do act, as if they were fools, or mad:
put away thy wine from thee; not as if she had any with her there to drink of, but he advises her, since it had such an effect upon her, to abstain from it, and wholly disuse it, and so break off such an habit and custom she had got into; or he would have her go home and sleep it out, and wait till she had digested it, and the strength of it was gone off, before she came to such a place of devotion and worship; from hence the Jews say w it may be learnt, that a drunken person ought not to pray.
w T. Bab. Beracot, fol. 31. 1.
