May one drink additional cups of wine between the first and second cups of the Seder?
Synopsis
The Mechaber permits additional cups in general but advises caution between the first and second cups to avoid drunkenness that would impede the Seder. The Mishnah Berurah clarifies this applies to intoxicating beverages only, and that Ashkenazi practice (blessing each cup) introduces additional constraints.
