Drunk on the Blood of Christ

I am really loving the community life here this year. I truly love the bonds I'm having with my fellow brothers and the sisters here. Every day they give me something new to laugh and smile about.

I happened to have a bottle of red wine in my room because I own a mini frig and I was just storing it there for one of the guys here. The other day, after tutoring two of my fellow brothers with their English/ homework, they and another fellow brother were planning to go into the chapel and have a drink with the church wine lolz. I told them that I have a bottle of wine in my frig so they drank that instead. So the four of us just sat around in my room and talked and the three of them drank and we just had a great time bonding.

A funny thing that happen was that they ask me to drink and I told them I don't drink and of course they gave me the good old "your going to be a priest" talk and "you need to learn how to drink". Ironically the next day I was assign minister of the cup (alter server) for mass. Part of our duties of minister of the cup is to drink all the left over wine that they didn't finish and clean up the chalice. Well my partner couldn't drink because he has a liver problem so I had to take one for the team and drank his left overs and mine.

I was so buzz after mass. My face was red and I couldn't even walk straight. Luckily I didn't have class until another hour so I was able to sleep it off. But when I woke up I didn't feel too well. I really don't know how people do this on a regular bases?
