Five reasons why men drink. 8-)

Si bene quid memini, causae sunt quinque bibendi;
Hospitis adventus, praesens sitis atque futura,
Aut vini bonitas, aut quaelibet altera causa.

The translation runs:

If on my theme I rightly think,
There are five reasons why men drink:?
Good wine; a friend; because I'm dry;
Or lest I should be by and by;
Or — any other reason why.
