A friend passed this on:
The writer Eubulus in about 400BC, features the Greek God of frolic, Dionysus, telling a men's drinking party to stick to three glasses:
"One to health, the second to love and pleasure, the third to sleep. When this bowl is drunk, wise guests go home. The fourth bowl is ours no longer but belongs to hubris, the fifth to uproar, the sixth to prancing about, the seventh to black eyes, the eighth brings the police, the ninth belongs to vomiting, and the tenth to insanity and the hurling of furniture."
