Wisdom for my cult, no. 83

I'm reading a book called The Naked Olympics: The True Story of the Ancient Games--good book, lots of fun... apparently lots of nakedness at the ancient Olympics.

The book quotes the Greek playwright Eubulus advising people to stop drinking after the third cup because "the fourth belongs to hubris, the fifth to shouting, the sixth to revel, the seventh to black eyes, the eight to legal actions, the ninth to bile and the tenth to madness."
