"Often I have desired it and often I have drunk it [...] to free myself from myself, to let myself go. Wine gives great pleasure; and every pleasure is in itself a good, unless it is counterbalanced by evil. A man may have a strong motive for not drinking wine; and it may be more important than pleasure. Wine makes a man more pleasant to himself. I do not say that it makes him more pleasant to others."
