During his rule in Kabul, when there was a time of relative peace, Babur pursued his interests in literature, art, music and gardening.{{sfn|Eraly|2007|pp=27–29}} Previously, he never drank alcohol and avoided it when he was in Herat. In Kabul, he first tasted it at the age of thirty. He then began to drink regularly, host wine parties and consume preparations made from [[opium]].{{sfn|Eraly|2007|pp=24–26}} Though religion had a central place in his life, Babur also approvingly quoted a line of poetry by one of his contemporaries: "I am drunk, officer. Punish me when I am sober". He quit drinking for health reasons before the Battle of Khanwa, just two years before his death, and demanded that his court do the same. But he did not stop chewing narcotic preparations, and did not lose his sense of irony. He wrote, "Everyone regrets drinking and swears an oath (of [[abstinence]]); I swore the oath and regret that."<ref>Pope, Hugh (2005).

Babur was opposed to the blind obedience towards the [[Yassa|Chinggisid laws]] and customs that were influential in Turco-Mongol society:<blockquote>"Previously our ancestors had shown unusual respect for the Chingizid code ({{lang|mn-Latn|törah}}). They did not violate this code sitting and rising at councils and court, at feasts and dinners. [However] Chingez Khan’s code is not a ''nass qati'' (categorical text) that a person must follow. Whenever one leaves a good custom, it should be followed. If ancestors leave a bad custom, however it is necessary to substitute a good one."</blockquote>Making clear that to him, the categorical text (i.e. the [[Quran]]) had displaced Genghis Khan's ''[[Yassa]]'' in moral and legal matters. <ref>{{Cite book|last=F.
