梵網經古迹記 2.56

2.56

述曰：初制意者，耽酒放逸，後必有悔，失自正念，違本心故。作不應作，言不應言，無惡不造，制勿施人。此不共戒，或對五戒，故今第五制酤酒戒。餘如前說。具緣成犯中，欲樂者，以酒與人，求利心也。酒已屬彼，即為究竟。事中，言「是酒起罪因緣」者，唯除破僧，餘惡並起。

The commentary states: First, as for the intention behind establishing [this precept]: Indulging in liquor leads to heedlessness, after which there will certainly be regret; because it loses one's own right mindfulness and goes against one's original intention. One does what should not be done, says what should not be said, and there is no evil one will not commit; hence it is prohibited from being given to others. This is an uncommon precept, or it is set in contrast with the five precepts; therefore the precept against selling liquor is established here as the fifth. The rest is as explained before. / In establishing the offense through the presence of conditions: "delight of desire" means the mind seeking profit by giving liquor to others. Once the liquor belongs to the other, it constitutes completion. In the matter, the phrase "this liquor is the cause and condition for giving rise to offenses" means that, with the sole exception of causing a schism in the Saṃgha, all other evils are given rise to.
