"For the Romans, a woman drinking wine was equated with adultery. The kiss, in short, was… the breathalyzer of fidelity. The equation is simple. Drinking, in fact, was the antechamber of adultery. Because a woman, drinking, lost control and could easily commit betrayal or, more generally, behave indecently."
