German Church leader Kaessmann admits drink-driving

#1  A short anecdote y'all probably don't know.
As a boy I was pushed into becoming an Altar Boy (Assistant at the altar Episcopal Church)
One of the things the priest had to do is finish off the Sacramental Wine leftover from service, he tried to make sure the wine either ran out or was very little remaining at the end of Communion, because he had to drink all leftover wine that had been "Blessed" for that service.

He would sometimes need to guzzle a half pint or more two services each Sunday, Yup, he WAS tipsy.

And couldn't do a thing about it.
