Drunk! We all ought to be drunk! Youth is drunkenness without wine; If old age can drink itself back to youth that is a wonderful virtue. Cares are part of our lovely life but an antidote to care is available in grapes.

Let's hear no more about it! Wine is seriously forbidden. So if we are going to get drunk Let's drink only the best wine! You would be a double heretic to be damned for drinking plonk.
