The loss of control, the misjudgment of events, and the lack of vigilance were among the effects of drunkenness that the Ancients perceived as being particularly harmful. The sexual behavior was mainly affected by the loss of control: rape, incest, and fulfillment of a tragic oracle were examples of the ruinous outcome of drunkenness. Excessive drinking, besides the intervention of a good, was considered responsible for a temporary loss of judgment, which could be fatal for the drinker. Finally, several mythological examples were provided to support the view that drunk people were harmless in front of the enemy.
古人认为，醉酒的影响中，失去自控、对事件判断失误以及缺乏警觉尤其有害。性行为主要受失去自控的影响：强奸、乱伦以及应验悲剧预言都是醉酒造成毁灭性后果的例子。除了受到神灵干预外，过度饮酒被认为会导致暂时的判断失误，这对饮酒者可能是致命的。最后，文中给出了几个神话故事的例子来支持这样一种观点，即醉酒者在敌人面前是毫无防备的。
