it meant come and have a cup of wine. the crushing was refering to the process of crushing grapes for wine. it also means that there is the possibility of getting drunk, due to the harshness of the word "crush".

It meant come and drink with me, and let the worries of these time be washed away, and the weight of our troubles be carried by the goblets we drink from. It's a common old english statement, much like 'Burry the hatchet'.
