Arguments on being sober

Which philosopher have good arguments against loosing yourself in pleasure ( why being sober is better, for example). I'm looking for a book where self-control is talked about, I think the Greeks and buddhism had some good insights on this.

Book III of Artistotle's *Nicomachean Ethics* is on moral virtue, and vice, as a conscious choice. So, for example, someone might try to excuse their behavior while intoxicated, on the basis that, in that state, they are no longer in possession of their rational faculties, they would still be morally culpable for the voluntary decision to become intoxicated in the first place. The book also covers temperance as an example of moral virtue at the end of that book.
