Stop Wineing
Roman author Claudius Aelianus didn’t suffer fools or drunkards, and he wasn’t afraid to write about them, either.
“The Nation of the Tapyrians is so addicted to Wine, that they live in Wine, and bestow the greatest part of their life and conversation upon it. Neither do they abuse it by drinking only, but by anointing themselves therewith, as others do with Oil.” (Aelian, Varia historia 3.13.)
“The Argives also and Corinthians have been reproached in Comedies for being intemperately addicted to Wine. Of the Thracians it is at this time reported for certain, that they are great Drinkers.” (Aelian, Varia historia 3.15.)
