Charles Baudelaire, « Wine and hashish », Psychotropes, ID : 10670/1.314bff...
Drunkenness is a recurring theme in the work of Charles Baudelaire. The essay Du vin et du haschisch is published in 1851. The poet describes the social behavior of consumers. He glorifies the wine, which “makes good and sociable.” Hashish is condemned because it is “antisocial”, and “is made for miserable idle.” Unlike wine, it does not incite to action and destroys any will.
