Nowadays, there is drunk driving. Was riding a horse drunk in ancient times?

Because of the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, people could only travel by horses and carriages, so at that time, horses were their main means of transportation. Compared with various means of transportation, horses are the most primitive means of transportation, but although cars are very developed now, drunk driving is very strict.

We all know that drunk driving will bring us great influence. First of all, it will affect our thinking and slow down our reaction. In the past, there were many car accidents caused by drunk driving, which caused many human tragedies, so now the traffic rules are getting stricter and stricter, and it is not easy to relax for drunk driving. It is also said in the special traffic rules that if you are serious, you will face jail time. This is not a simple trivial matter, but it is included in illegal crimes and cannot be underestimated.

Many ancient literary heroes enjoyed drinking and riding horses after drinking. Then horses also travel as a means of transportation. Are they drunk? Looking through a large number of historical materials, we can see that there was no provision for riding after drinking in ancient times, so it should be allowed. What's more, many soldiers also like to drink a glass of life and death wine when they go out to war. Although there are no restrictions on this behavior in ancient laws and regulations, there are also many accidents that show drunk driving in many materials, which are actually not many. An emperor once died while riding a horse after drinking. He is bald and lonely, the founder of Nanliang. In 399 AD, he fell off his horse because of drunkenness, becoming the only emperor in history who fell to his death on horseback after drinking.

In fact, a very important reason why drinking and riding horses in ancient times was not drunk driving was that horses and cars were different. Horses are actually creatures with their own consciousness. When danger comes, they will not advance mechanically, but may choose to avoid it. Nowadays, cars are mechanical and unconscious. When it comes to danger, it is dangerous. Drinking and driving is dangerous, so the wine tastes good, but you must not drink and drive!
