Aug.
CHAP. XX.
A71 Answer to the Objection, that Drunkenness causes infinite Evils.
AFTER having specified the g(K)d Quali- ties of Drunkenness, let us now answer some frivolous Objections, that may be made against what we have here advanced. For Example, People will not be wanting imme- diately to object, that Drunkenness has been the cause of infinite Evils.
To this I answer, that it has been only the cause of these Evils, when People have pushed it too far, and not observed the Rules they ou
...ght to keep in Drinking, and which we shall see here prescribed by and by. For where do we find, that any one of so many grave Philosophers, that used to get drunk, made any Disorders? It was for this reason, that Chrisippus's Maid said, that her Master was drunk in the Hams. And 'twas on this veiy account, perhaps, that the Stoics said of their Sage, " That he was, indeed, to be over- " come with Wine, but would not, however, " be drunk. Vino ohrutiim iri non ehrium tamen " futurum.
On the other hand, without being willing to THE PRAISE OF DRUNKENNESS 119 excuse those Disorders which Drunkenness has been the cause of, one may say, nevertheless, that some of these disorders have produced ef- fects highly advantageous.
