More useful resources from my friend:
www.coldsiberia.org/webdoc9.htm
"If unable to abstain from drinking, a man may get drunk three times a
month; if he does it more than three times he is culpable; if he gets
drunk twice a month it is better; if once a month, this is still more
laudable; and if one does not drink at all what can be better?"
The link contains various fragments from the Yasa. Some of them are
absurd by our modern view, but there is still useful content for the
warrior.
A few other quotes:
"One must magnify and pay honor to the pure, and the innocent, and the
righteous, and to the learned, to whatsoever people they may belong;
and condemn the wicked and the men of iniquity." [Ab-ul-Faraj, sec.2.]
"The first is this: That ye love another; second, do not commit
adultery; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not betray
anyone. Respect the aged and poor." [Grigor of Akanc.]
