Yemenite poetry is often steeped in allegorical expressions drawn from the Kabbalah and esoteric writings.Idelsohn, A.Z. (1930), p. 6 Although it might incorporate themes of wine and of love, or that of a bridegroom and bride, it is, nonetheless, distinctly set apart from songs of hedonism sung in revelry and in drinking bouts. In Yemenite poetry, such themes serve a mystical meaning, not to be understood in its literal context of a marriage between a man and a woman in the flesh, but of the bridegroom being the Holy One, blessed be He, and his bride, the people of Israel (Knesset Yisroel).

Visitors were formally welcomed in 'peace and friendship' with a mether and the guest would pass the cup only to his right (sun-wise) for luck. The cup would be held in both hands. Intended also for the communal drinking and drinking bouts by the common people the mether is designed to be used by drinking from one of the four broad corners and if a drink is taken in haste the mead will flow onto the person concerned with humorous consequences adding to the festive air on the occasions of rural tasks such as funerals, weddings, fairs, sowing, haymaking, reaping, threshing, thatching, etc. Methers were also used for drinking other fluids such as milk, buttermilk, etc.

Isocrates states that the teacher should be judged by his students, in that if they do good and moral works then the teacher has done a good job and should be praised. This directly opposes Gorgias’ view that it is not up to him how his students use what he teaches them. At the end of his Antidosis, Isocrates explains how he attempts to keep his students in high moral standing by discouraging some of the more debaucherous behaviors available in the city, such as “participating in drinking-bouts and tossing dice in gambling dens.” He posits the idea that as a teacher, he can be judged as successful by the moral ways in which his students live their lives when compared to other young men who are wasting their youth in revelry.

In "The Island of the Ud" their relationship is described as follows: > It is true that the Captain appeared both to like the boy, in his own queer > fashion, and to trust him; but for all that, he had with perfect calmness > and remorseless intent, shown him the knife with which he would cut his > throat, if ever he told a word of anything that his master might say to him > during his drinking bouts. Jat is abusive when drunk: > When he ran out of toddy, he would heave his pewter mug at the lad's head as > he lay asleep, and roar to him to turn-out and brew him fresh and > stronger... Captain Jat's speech is written in dialect. Pibby Tawles is not actually given much spoken dialogue, or much in the way of description. This serves to make the reader's impression of him somewhat vague; this is probably to allow the reader to mentally take his place in the story as the underdog hero.
