Drunk for Three Nights

Told by Cao Wei

An old saying circulates in Liangzhou: "When outlanders taste Liangzhou wine, one cup will leave them drunk for three days." Liangzhou's wine springs produce rich, intoxicating brews. Locals can drink a thousand cups without falling, while strangers might pass out from the fumes alone.
