Herodotus Quotes:
Ocupation: Historian
Life: 484 BC - 425 BC
Birthday: 484 BC
Death: 425 BC
If an important decision is to be made, they [the Persians] discuss the question when they are drunk, and the following day the master of the house where the discussion was held submits their decision for reconsideration when they are sober. If they still approve it, it is adopted; if not, it is abandoned. Conversely, any decision they make when they are sober, is reconsidered afterwards when they are drunk.
