וְהַשְּׁתִיָּ֥ה כַדָּ֖ת אֵ֣ין אֹנֵ֑ס כִּי־כֵ֣ן ׀ יִסַּ֣ד הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ עַ֚ל כָּל־רַ֣ב בֵּית֔וֹ לַעֲשׂ֖וֹת כִּרְצ֥וֹן אִישׁ־וָאִֽישׁ׃
Und das Trinken war nach dem Gesetz; keiner zwang; denn so hatte der König allen Offizieren seines Hauses bestimmt, dass sie nach jedem Mann tun sollten's Vergnügen.
Rashi on Esther
Proper. Because there are feasts in which they coerce those seated to drink [the contents] of a large vessel, and some can only drink it with difficulty, but here it was “with no coercion.”20Alternatively, no one was coerced into finishing his drink quickly in order to make his cup available to someone else because there were enough cups for all [השתיה כדת].
Rashi on Esther
Basically instructed. An expression referring to a foundation [יְסוֹד], meaning, so he instituted and commanded.
Rashi on Esther
All his palace officials. All stewards of the feast: the chief baker, the chief butcher and the chief butler.
