def.2 Also] The milk of the cocoa-nut: AHn says, it is very intoxicating; moderately as long as its drinker does not go forth to the wind; but if he does so, his intoxication becomes excessive; and when he who is not accustomed to it, and is not suited to it, continues constantly the drinking of it, it vitiates his intellect, and confuses his understanding: when it remains until the morrow, it becomes most acid vinegar.
