שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אֶשְׁתֶּה וְשָׁתָה מַשְׁקִין הַרְבֵּה, אֵינוֹ חַיָּב אֶלָּא אַחַת. שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא אֶשְׁתֶּה יַיִן וָשֶׁמֶן וּדְבַשׁ וְשָׁתָה, חַיָּב עַל כָּל אַחַת וְאֶחָת:

"I swear that I shall not drink," and he drank many (different kinds of) drinks, he is liable only for one. "I swear that I shall not drink wine, and oil, and honey," and he drank, he is liable for each one. [The Gemara construes this as an instance of one's urging him: "Come and drink with me wine, oil, and honey." (If he intended one oath,) he would have said "I swear I shall not drink with you," and no more, the oath applying to what was being urged upon him. Why "wine, oil, and honey," if not to render them distinct?]
