I am a yogi who drinks beer, because It illumines the Diamond Body, Completes the Enjoyment Body, And gives form to all Emanation Bodies. -Milarepa

Milarepa was a wise old wanderer.
He was
of the great Tibetan yogis.
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

More good Milarepa quotes:
Quote:
Long used to solitude without servant or master, I have forgotten courteous manners. Long accustomed to be carefree, I have forgotten worldly shame.
Quote:
The Dharma of you worldly people Is too difficult to practice. Caring for naught, I live the way I please. Your so-called 'shame' only brings deceit And fraud; How to pretend I know not.
If only I could begin to learn how to live with this kind of worldview.

I imagine it takes a kind of inward zest and lack of care about what others think. It's a shame honesty is so rarely tolerated these days.

You shouldn't be afraid to live how you want to. I think the only thing this guy did wrong was to be angry at 'the world'. It's not only fruitless to be angry, but impossible to know 'the world', and what 'the world' really is, is your own concept in your own head, not necessarily shared with anybody else. So, you might just be angry at yourself.
My advice is to never cultivate anything you don't want to see in the world. It will start to disappear from your life and the world around you.

In those quotes he sounds a bit bitter. Maybe it's the translation, maybe he was just old.
