[edit] Drinking whilst recumbent

I would really question this statement. First, in paintings we see them drinking whilst semi-recumbent. Secondly, it is not at all clear to me why drinking from a large stemmed saucer would be any easier than from an ordinary cup, regardless of one's angle of repose. If we were to speculate, I would guess it was more in keeping with the discipline of maintaining sobriety while drinking to use a type of cup that required greater dexterity than the more normal kind. Imagine trying to balance one of these wide, flat saucers filled with wine while propped up on one elbow! Haiduc 04:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
