From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Drink-offering
    consisted of wine (Num. 15:5; Hos. 9:4) poured around the altar
    (Ex. 30:9). Joined with meat-offerings (Num. 6:15, 17; 2 Kings
    16:13; Joel 1:9, 13; 2:14), presented daily (Ex. 29:40), on the
    Sabbath (Num. 28:9), and on feast-days (28:14). One-fourth of an
    hin of wine was required for one lamb, one-third for a ram, and
    one-half for a bullock (Num. 15:5; 28:7, 14). "Drink offerings
    of blood" (Ps. 16:4) is used in allusion to the heathen practice
    of mingling the blood of animals sacrificed with wine or water,
    and pouring out the mixture in the worship of the gods, and the
    idea conveyed is that the psalmist would not partake of the
    abominations of the heathen.
