Why does it mention both Yayin and Tirosh?

1.

Radak: Tirosh is new wine. It takes the heart and intoxicates quickly.

2)

How do Zenus, Yayin and Tirosh take the heart?

1.

Rashi: They engaged in them ? this took their heart away from me.

2.

Radak: Due to Zenus and constant drinking, they do not have a heart to understand the good path to go on.

3.

Malbim: The Kohen was commanded to guard Mishmeres Hashem and to be Kadosh to his G-d. He must refrain from Zenus ? "Ishah Zonah va'Chalalah Lo Yikachu" (Vayikra 21:7), and from Yayin and Shechar ? Yamin v'Shechar At Tesht? b'Vo'achem El Ohel Mo'ed" (ibid. 10:9). Zenus and wine veer the heart from the way of Torah and Kedushah.
