Alcohol and its effects are well described in ancient Ayurvedic medical texts- Caraka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. As well as describing various types of wine, they describe clear stages of intoxication. The descriptions match the modern symptoms of alcohol intoxication. The emphasis in management was on controlled drinking. The advised approach to drinking and the implications for modern clinical management are discussed further
