Michael Spence's 'One Drink Before You Go' is an ancient tale as current in appeal as it is age-old. Another gem from Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Worlds. -Eugen Bacon, Fictionwise Recommender
"So, if you will accept my word, I freely give it. I have supplied your soldiers with enough provisions to last several days, and I have not mixed any potions or other magical preparations with them. What your men have is good food, plain and simple. Your wizards will confirm it. And I tell you that you need not fear my wine either." The invader looked at her, considering. Finally he said, "Very well. I'll taste your wine. But only," he added, his mouth twisting into a calculating smile, "if you will drink it with me."
