As a side comment, have you ever considered the ancients:

THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH
Tablet X
As for you, Gilgamesh, let your belly be full,
Make merry day and night.
Of each day make a feast of rejoicing.
Day and night dance and play!
Let your garments be sparkling fresh,
Your head be washed; bathe in water.
Pay heed to a little one that holds on to your hand,
Let a spouse delight in your bosom.
It turns out to be a fine purpose just as any, in my view.
