The Goths proved greedy drinkers of the delicate and rich wines that they found in Italy. Their first thought upon seizing a villa was of the wine cellar, and they apparently acted much as their descendants were later to act in Belgium and northern France in the great war.
 In their northern forests they brew ed beer from wheat or barley, a beer that was evidently much more intox- icating that the beer of today, for it was as powerful an intoxicant as the Roman wines. When they went to war they were hardy fighters, able to go without rich foods and heady liquors as long as their enemies were in the field. But in their rude settle ments during intervals of peace they gave themselves unreservedly to hard drinking

 Some historians have attributed the love of the ancient Germans for strong drink to the cold, damp climate of their northern land. Whatever may have been the cause, it is certain that they did not acquire their taste for al- cohol from the Romans. They liked the Italian and Greek wines that they found in the south so much so that they were as eager drinkers of them as the Romans, but they knew just as much about getting intoxicated before they ventured out of their forests to the sunny plains.

German historians have been fond of contrasting the rude virtues of the tribesmen who overwhelmed Rome with the drunkenness and debauchery of the empire. The legend has grown up that these unlettered barbarians who came out of the northern forests were a sturdy and sober race, who found it easy to trample upon the en- ervated and luxury-lOving citizens of Ronc
 But this Is an exaggerated picture. The Germans were not so refined in their pleasures as the Romans; they were sturdier and better fighters be- cause they lived more in the open and did not hire other people to fight for them They were, however, almost as much given to alcohol as the more civilized people whom they conquered.

As the partici- pants were all men. they quarre1ed much more than the Romans did at their feasts, and their revels often end ed in the murder of friends and rela- tives who had infamed the anger of drunken feasters.
 When Alaric led his victorious host of Goths through Italy, the barbarians gave themselves eagerly to drunken ness.
