Is there an art to drinking alcohol Can drinking ever be a virtue The Renaissance humanist and neoclassical poet Vincent Obsopoeus (ca. 1498-1539) thought so. In the winelands of sixteenth-century Germany he witnessed the birth of a poisonous new culture of bingeing hazing peer pressure and competitive drinking. Alarmed and inspired by the Roman poet Ovid s Art of Love he wrote The Art of Drinking (De Arte Bibendi) (1536) a how-to manual for drinking with pleasure and discrimination. Arguing that moderation not abstinence is the key to lasting sobriety and that drinking can be a virtue if it is done with rules and limits Obsopoeus teaches us how to manage our drinking how to win friends at social gatherings and how to give a proper toast. But he also says that drinking to excess on occasion is okay--and he even tells us how to win drinking games citing extensive personal experience.
