Gill's Notes on the Bible
And thou shall bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after,.... He might buy what provision he would with it, what he best liked, and was most agreeable to his appetite:
for oxen, or for sheep; he might purchase beef or mutton, or any other sort of meat that could be got, and was lawful to be eaten, as before directed:
or for wine, or for strong drink; to drink with his food, whether wine or any other liquor; the Targum of Jonathan is, wine new or old, which he chose; but the latter, strong drink, Aben Ezra says, was a liquor made of honey and of dates, of wheat and of barley:
or for whatsoever thy soul desireth; whether eatable or drinkable:
and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God; he having put his name in that place; and dwelling there, as the Lord did in the temple of Jerusalem:
and thou shalt rejoice, thou and thy household; eat their food with cheerfulness and gladness, making a feast of it and keeping it as such, he and his whole family, his wife and children, or as many as were with him; and all males were obliged to appear at the three grand yearly festivals, and it was at one of these this was to be done.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 14:26. Or for strong drink — What the sikera or strong drink of the Hebrews was, Leviticus 10:9; Leviticus 10:9. This one verse sufficiently shows that the Mosaic law made ample provision for the comfort and happiness of the people.
