Summary:The author situates the topic discussed in the paper in the context of scholars’ remarks concerning literary testimonies of the native festive culture, particularly the love of alcohol. She shows the theme presented in the title as a cultural and folk phenomenon interestingly articulated in numerous lyrical variants, which in the festive scenery is connected with music, singing, dance, and furthermore is the source of creative powers. The author presents this issue primarily as an important element of the artistic shaping of Kniaznin’s early lyric poetry. The ways in which the theme of drinking alcohol manifests itself in Erotic Poems (1779) enables us to observe that related elements of imagery, considered together with creative inspirations from foreign cultures (primarily ancient and modern European), were subject to adaptation and acquired native features due to the influence of culture and manners common for Polish-Lithuanian nobility, as well as thanks to the combination of these references with biographical allusions and current affairs of that time (places and people).
