Rashi, on Prov 23:31

“Look not upon the wine when it is yellow, when the colour thereof shineth in the glass: it goeth in pleasantly,”

“Do not look at wine when it is red Do not put your eye on it. when he puts his eye on the cup, it goes smoothly Whoever is habitually drunk—all transgressions appear to him to be straight; all ways appear straight. on the cup Heb. בכוס. The masoretic text reads: בכיס, on the pocket; i.e., the drinker puts his eye on the cup, and the storekeeper puts his eye on this one’s pocket.”

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
