It means that drinking is one of the worst evils, worse than even the non-vegetarian diet. The holy water of the Ganges purifies everything. But the goblet is not purified even with it.

It Kills the genres of righteousness i.e., the feelings and impressions of righteousness are destroyed by drinking wine and a man has a downfall.
