Luke 7:33-35 King James Version (KJV)
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.

Luke 7:33-35 Revised Standard Version (RSV)

33 For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine; and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of man has come eating and drinking; and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 Yet wisdom is justified by all her children.”

33 They saw this because they thought maybe he lived without food but truth was he fasted a lot more then them without saying anything.

34 Jesus was happy to be a friend to sinners; Jesus never over ate or got drunk but didn’t fast just to say how good he was as they did.

35 For these teachers their students or children would be so turned to the traditions that they wanted to get rid of the truth for good. Jesus’ followers impacted the world for His name and it changed it by Him forever.

They (the Jewish leaders of that generation)
were like children who are never satisfied. (Much like the political leaders today.). They faulted the ascetics and non-ascetics. (I’m hot mommy, I’m cold daddy. Are we there yet? Let’s go. Open borders. Closed borders.))

JTB lived an ascetic life, demonstrating repentance to the people. Because the truth was, they needed to repent.

Jesus lived a blessed life. Because the truth was, the people were blessed.

Wisdom was vindicated!

I believe the situation was that those in power (just like today) saw John the Baptist and Jesus as threats to their hegemony, their control of the positions of power, and they slandered both John and Jesus in an effort to keep people from listening to or following either of them.

The same thing is going on today in current politics. The people who have had the reins of power for many decades do not like an outsider (Trump) upsetting their apple cart and revealing how corrupt they are.

The more things change; the more they remain the same.

The parable of the soils comes to mind in Matthew 13:1-15, especially vs.15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Pharisee's hearts are callous and they lack any understanding of the mysteries of God that is Christ Jesus. They have not Spiritual eyes and ears to understand and receive wisdom from Christ, Colossians 2:2, 3.
