«تِسْكَرْ وِتْخَانِقْ مَا هُوشْ مُوَافِقْ»

The saying condemns quarrelling while drunk, when intoxication can impair judgment and control of speech or actions. It presents such conduct as unwise and likely to lead to harmful consequences.

Historically associated with al-Ibshihi, who recorded a variant wording, it concerns drunken quarrelling specifically. Extending it to emotional upset or other forms of impairment is interpretive, rather than part of its stated sense.

Use it to warn or rebuke someone who is about to quarrel while drunk, stressing that intoxication makes harmful conflict more likely. It is not, in its stated sense, a general saying about anger or non-drunk impairment.
