Hi. I don't understand the meaning of these words: "gin them down to nothing". To got them drunk, maybe?
"...when an army as laden with plunder as Alexander’s passes through, even the most hawkeyed patriarch can’t keep watch over his daughters forever.The maids dog the column, seeking novelty, freedom, romance, and even the lamest scuff can gin them down to nothing for a quick roll-me-over." (The Afghan Campaign by Steven Pressfield.)
