Teetotallers

Caesar, Gallic War 4.2.6 (of the Suebi, a German tribe; tr. James J. O'Donnell):
They do not let wine be imported to them, for they think it softens men for hard work and makes them womanly.

vinum ad se omnino importari non sinunt, quod ea re ad laborem ferendum remollescere homines atque effeminari arbitrantur.
