Drinking anecdotes

I dare not drink, lest I get hurt.

Every time I finish, I wander the streets.

The wind reeks of alcohol,

my feet treading on ripples, my hands twirling the waves.

Just minutes ago, I swore to the heavens

to stay away from the wine vat for life.

But the allure of the wine is irresistible;

a small sip and my whole body is filled with fragrance.

Does anyone truly dare not drink?

The taverns of a thousand miles are a battlefield for men.

In a daze, heroes emerge,

and to become a hero brings boundless glory.
