Drinking in moderation was considered fully appropriate for Greek citizens and, accordingly, wine played a central role in the symposium, where adult men met to enjoy poems, music, conversation, and sex. To reach the goal of remaining "euphoric" without getting intoxicated, wine was drunk diluted. Usually, three parts of water were added to one part of wine. Since drinking diluted wine produces a slow rise of alcoholemia, the pharmacological rationale of this habit seems to stand on two factors: 1) feeling relaxed and euphoric are mainly perceived during the rise of alcoholemia: 2) alcohol intake can be titrated as long as intoxication is not reached.
适度饮酒被认为对希腊公民完全合适，因此，葡萄酒在酒会中扮演着核心角色，成年男性会在酒会上相聚欣赏诗歌、音乐、交谈并进行性行为。为了达到保持“愉悦”而不醉酒的目的，葡萄酒是稀释后饮用的。通常，三份水加一份葡萄酒。由于饮用稀释后的葡萄酒会使血液酒精含量缓慢上升，这种习惯的药理学原理似乎基于两个因素：1）在血液酒精含量上升期间主要会感到放松和愉悦；2）只要未达到醉酒状态，酒精摄入量就可以得到控制。
