He who fixes his eyes on his cup, the whole world seems to him like a mirror.

The drunk or drunkard does not see the mountains and valleys, but everything seems to him as one flat surface. In the question: Addiction to drinking causes the loss of the ability to see reality as it is (he gave his eye to...the meaning of the matter. His glass means his glass of wine).

("For he who sets his eye on the cup will walk uprightly (Proverbs 23) Rabbi Ami and Rabbi Assi, one said: Everyone who sets his eye on the cup - all the cities are like unto him as a straight path. And one said: Everyone who sets his eye on the cup - the whole world is like unto him as a straight path" - Yoma 8:1)
