17.11

又成實論問云。飲酒是實罪耶。答曰非也。所以者何。飲酒不為惱眾生故。而是罪因。若人飲酒。則開不善門。以能障定及諸善法。如殖眾果必有牆障。故知酒過如果無園。

Furthermore, the Tattvasiddhi-śāstra asks: "Is drinking wine an actual offense?" It replies: "No. Why is that? Because drinking wine does not cause affliction to sentient beings. Rather, it is a cause of offenses. If a person drinks wine, it opens the door to unwholesome actions, as it can obstruct meditative concentration and all wholesome dharmas. Just as planting various fruit trees requires a surrounding wall or fence, so too should one know that the fault of wine is like having fruit without an orchard wall."
