Se’if 1א׳

מוֹזְגִין לוֹ כּוֹס רִאשׁוֹן וּמְקַדֵּשׁ עָלָיו, וּמְבָרֵךְ שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ. וְאִם חָל בְּשַׁבָּת, אוֹמֵר וַיְכֻלּוּ, וְאִם חָל בְּמוֹצָאֵי שַׁבָּת אוֹמֵר יקנה "ז, וְאִם שָׁכַח לְהַבְדִּיל וְלֹא נִזְכַּר עַד שֶׁהִתְחִיל הַהַגָּדָה, יַשְׁלִים הַהַגָּדָה עַד גָּאַל יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאַחַר כָּךְ יַבְדִּיל. הַגָּה: וְאֵין לִטֹּל יָדָיו כְּלָל קֹדֶם קִדּוּשׁ (רַבֵּנוּ יְרוּחָם וְהָרֹא"שׁ בִּתְשׁוּבָה וּמָרְדְּכַי פ' ע"פ). וְאִם אֵין יָדָיו נְקִיּוֹת, יִטֹּל מְעַט אֲבָל אֵין לְבָרֵךְ עַל הַנְּטִילָה. וּבַעַל הַבַּיִת לֹא יִמְזֹג בְּעַצְמוֹ, רַק אַחֵר יִמְזֹג לוֹ דֶּרֶךְ חֵרוּת (מהרי"ב).

Laws of the first cup and the Pesach Seder until the second cup. Containing 7 sections. We pour for him the first cup and make a berakha over it, and make the berakha of Sheheheyanu. And if it falls out on Shabbat, one should say "Vaykhulu," and if it falls on Motzae Shabbat one should say ---. And if he forgot to say Havdala and didn't remember until he started the Hagada, he should finish the Hagada until the berakha of "Gaal Yisrael" and afterwards he should say Havdala. Rema: And one should not wash his hands at all before Kidush. If one's hands aren't clean, he should wash a little, but not make a berakha. And the master of the household should not pour for himself, rather another should pour for him like the way of freedom (Mahariv).

Se’if 2ב׳

שׁוֹתֶה בַּהֲסַבָּה וְאֵינוֹ מְבָרֵךְ אַחֲרָיו.

One should drink while reclining and not make a blessing afterwards.

Se’if 3ג׳

אִם יִרְצֶה לִשְׁתּוֹת כַּמָּה כּוֹסוֹת, הָרְשׁוּת בְּיָדוֹ; וּמִכָּל מָקוֹם רָאוּי לִזָּהֵר שֶׁלֹּא לִשְׁתּוֹת בֵּין רִאשׁוֹן לְשֵׁנִי, אִם לֹא לְצֹרֶךְ גָּדוֹל, כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא יִשְׁתַּכֵּר, וְיִמָּנַע מִלַּעֲשׂוֹת הַסֵדֶר וּקְרִיאַת הַהַגָּדָה.

If one wants to drink many cups, he has permission to do so. Nevertheless, it's proper not to drink between the first and second cups, if there's no great need, so that he won't get drunk and be prevented from performing the Seder and the reading of the Hagada.
