酉 is a pictograph of an amphora used for distilling. The radical for liquid (氵) added to it indicates the jar is filled with liquor: 酒 - wine as exhilarating and stimulating as knowledge. But liquor is intoxicating, so the proverb cautions: “Wine should be taken in small doses; knowledge in large.”
