Iago wanted Cassio to drink more wine because he wanted Cassio to be drunk and argumentative when Roderigo would approach him later that night. Iago told Montano that Cassio was drunk every night. He wanted to cast doubt on Othello's judgment for appointing Cassio, by implying that Cassio may be drunk during battle. This led to Othello stripping Cassio of his position. Othello thought that Cassio was irresponsible and dishonourable.

Why does cassio get Othello's estate?
In Act II Scene 3, Iago knows that Cassio's weakness is unable to tolerate alcohol therefore he targets this weakness and persuades Cassio to drink with him. At first Cassio said no to Iago's offer because he was assigned to be on duty at night however, he ends up drinking anyways because of Iago's persistent persuasion. Iago's plan was slowly progressing. After a great amount of alcohol consumption, Cassio became drunk and went to the washroom by himself. While he was doing his business, an unknown man which was Roderigo disguised with a beard, pushed him from behind. This action angers Cassio therefore he chases the "unknown man". At the same time, Iago was talking to Montano about Cassio's drinking problem. Cassio runs into Iago and Montano, a fight occurs and Montano gets injured as Iago stabs him without anyone else noticing. The fight causes Othello to appear and strips Cassio of his rank because "he" injured Montano.

Iago's plan is to make Cassio drunk and get him into a brawl that will ruin Cassio's reputation and cause him to lose his position.

As usual,Roderigo is duped by Iago's manipulative words and agrees to do this, even though all he ends up with is a sound beating from Cassio. Iago, however, succeeds in getting Cassio dismissed from his lieutenancy to Othello, which plays in toIago's master plan to ruin Othello.
How does Iago plot to have cassio demoted in act 2?
Iago gets Cassio drunk. Cassio does not have a head for liquor and he knows it and he tells Iago he's had enough, but Iago makes himself extremely persuasive, using the same kind of arguments people still use to make people drink more than they should. "O! they are our friends; but one cup; I'll drink for you" and "What, man! "tis a night of revels; the gallants desire it." In other words, "Don't let our friends down, just have one more, it's a party! don't be a wet blanket." Iago knows, as Cassio does, that Cassio is at the point where he will start to get drunk and quarrelsome, and will start a fight with someone, when he's supposed to be on duty.
What plot do lago and roderigo have for cassio?
Iago does the plotting alone; Roderigo is his dupe and has no more idea how he is being used than Cassio does. In Act II Scene 3 Iago makes sure both are drunk and quarrelsome and then eggs Roderigo on so Cassio will fight with him, thus ensuring Cassio's dismissal. In Act IV Scene 2 Iago lies to Roderigo, telling him that Othello is being sent to Mauretania where Roderigo will never have a chance to see Desdemona. Iago tells him that this is only possible because there is a competent replacement for Othello on hand in Cyprus in the person of Cassio. Get rid of Cassio, and Othello must stay in Cyprus. In this way Iago dupes Roderigo into trying to murder Cassio in Act V.
How does Iago cast aside suspicion of his own part in the plot to kill Cassio?
Othello was just out of earshot when Iago talks to Cassio.

In 'Othello' Iago tricks Othello by planting Desdemona's handkerchief in Cassio's room.
What is Iago's main complaint about Cassio?

What information does iago use to spark roderigos interest in his plan to discredit casssio?
By suggesting it as a possibility, then discounting it. He thus forced Othello to push for some evidence proving it. By using the con artist's technique of the stall, together with his reputation of honesty, Iago makes Othello think that Iago could not have made the suggestion unless there was some reason for it, and the more Iago denies that there is such a reason, the more Othello believes it.
