Rules for Drinking

1 —Get intoxicated, but don’t get helplessly drunk. Drunkenness causes lifelong ill-health. 2.—Don’t lie in a draught when drunk—this brings on fits. t 3 — Don’t lie in the sun when drunk—that way lies madness. 4 — lie in the dew when drunk—rheumatism will result. 5 —Never force yourself to eat, and never get angry, when you are under the influence of drink or you will break out in boils. 6 —Don't drink on an empty stomach or you will certainly be sick. 7—Never take sweet things with wine.

8. Don’t eat pork with wine as this causes convulsions.

9—Don’t bath when you are affected by wine; it is bad for the eyes. 10—Don’t ride or jump about, or exert yourself in any way when drunk or you will injure your bones and sinews and undermine your strength.
