From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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.
