喝酒有例，不准勉强人，因王吩咐宫里的一切臣宰，让人各随己意。
hē jiǔ yǒu lì ， bù zhǔn miǎn qiǎng rén ， yīn wáng fēn fu gōng lǐ de yí qiè chén zǎi ， ràng rén gè suí jǐ yì 。
In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had instructed all the officials of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.
