Upon occasion we should go as far as intoxication . . . . Drink washes cares away, stirs the mind from its lowest depths . . . . But in liberty moderation is wholesome, and so it is in wine . . . . We ought not indulge too often, for fear the mind contract a bad habit, yet it is right to draw it toward elation and release and to banish dull sobriety for a little. ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca
