Question:
And the commentator said in another narration: The servant gave him a drink and he ordered it to be poured out.
Answer:
This is the meaning of drinking, which is giving a drink or being given a drink. This cause is feared to lead to intoxication afterwards. Therefore, either he drinks it, or he gets intoxicated, or he pours it out. If there are causes that prevent him from getting intoxicated, and there is no intoxication in it, and it is known that he will not get intoxicated in the fourth or fifth [instance], and nothing is present, then the criterion is intoxication. This is the operative cause of the prohibition. If there are causes that prevent it from becoming intoxicating, then there is no harm.
