It has been appropriately said, “As the furnace tests the steel blade in the process of dipping, so wine tests the heart of the haughty.” A debauch is the immoderate use of wine, intoxication the disorder that results from such use; crapulousness (κραιπάλη) is the discomfort and nausea that follow a debauch, so called from the head shaking (κάρα πάλλειν).
