drinking (manner/amount) — the mode or quantity of beverage consumption, especially at feasts
This feminine noun appears in Esther 1:8, describing the drinking arrangements at King Ahasuerus's banquet. The text specifies that 'the drinking was according to law' or custom, meaning no one was compelled to drink more than desired. The word emphasizes the manner of consumption rather than the beverages themselves. Persian royal hospitality could be lavish yet regulated, and this detail adds cultural texture to the narrative.
