The Instructor 2.4.40

Let revelry be kept far from our rational feasting, and also the foolish all-night parties that pride themselves on drunkenness. For revelry is a drunken restlessness, the improviser of erotic distress; and love and drunkenness, irrational passions, are banished far from our chorus. The all-night party over drink is a kind of revel-drunkenness, calling forth drunkenness and exciting intercourse, a daring that does shameful things. Those who are stirred by flutes and harps, choruses and dances, Egyptian castanets and such idle amusements would become quite disorderly, indecent, and uneducated, beaten upon by cymbals and drums and surrounded by the noise of the instruments of deceit. For simply, it seems to me, such a banquet becomes a theater of drunkenness. The apostle asks that “we put off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light, walking decently as in the day, not in revels and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness.”
