Political debate in ancient Persia

 Political debate in ancient Persia were twice: once all the participants were drunk, and the second - sober
 There is nothing better than an old-fashioned drunken debate , especially when it comes to ancient Persia . The Persians loved discuss their policies with each other in a drunken state - the phenomenon was quite common , and the debate did not stop until all participants fully express their opinion .
After such a policy discussion often returned to the same theme for a second time when the parties are sober up , to make sure that the discussion remained the same , and alcohol did not affect them . If the results are not changed, then the Persians recognize a good idea and proceeded to perform the procedure .
For example, when the Persians were planning to go to war , we discussed the pros and cons of such an enterprise in a drunken state . If they are drunk decided that war is necessary , then discussed about the same sober , and if the decision seemed reasonable to them , then began to fight. If sober , they solved that war is not necessary, do not get involved in the war and blamed the previous short-sighted judgment of alcohol.
