《管子·侈靡》
不可常在大臣家饮酒作乐，那将使国运大消；饮酒逍遥，荒亡流连，经常如是，国家就由此败亡了好比一个酒器，上部大而底部小，酒既流失而底又不会平稳。
毋数据大臣之家而饮酒，是为使国大消。三尧在，臧于县，返于连，比若是者，必从是儡亡乎！辟之若尊觯，未胜其本，亡流而下不平。
Do not make it a habit to drink wine and make merry in the ministers' residence; the fortune of the country will be greatly depleted; drinking wine and taking life easy, indulging in dissipation and pleasure, doing this often, the country will perish from this; just like a wine vessel, with a wide top and a narrow bottom, the wine is poured in but it cannot be held steady.
