The intoxicating fragrance of wine, the allure of a beautiful woman.
A normal man should not be able to resist such a deadly temptation.
Men are often drawn to four vices: poison, gambling, alcohol, and women. Even if a man doesn't indulge in poison or gambling, he should at least drink; if he doesn't drink, he should still find pleasure in women; and even if he abstains from all that, he should not be able to resist a beautiful woman.
But sometimes, there exists a man who can resist.
Men who can withstand the allure of beauty are rare. Those who can resist both beauty and the allure of wine are even rarer.
Does that mean such a person isn't a real man?
No.
He can resist the allure of beauty and the intoxication of wine. He knows that some temptations, even if beautiful, come with poison.
