this is true, it isn’t in the new Book of Blessings, but it was in the older version, and as such can still be used

I think, rather, that it would be Blessed Vodka. (emphasis on the “ed”)
If the priest asked God to somehow inhabit the Vodka in a sense akin to Holy Water or the Eucharist, then yes, I think it would be Holy Vodka…
What a funny concept!

The Eucharist is Jesus.

The Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic parish I attend on occasion (I’m a Roman - watch out! 
) has a dispenser of holy water off to the side, just before the iconastasis…could that theoretically be filled with holy vodka (or for those of us with good taste, a solid holy Trappist beer? 
) instead of holy water?
Beerfully yours.

This past summer, I went to a local town fair. At one of the stands, a man was selling candles. Not ordinary candles, though. The candles were contained in cut-top bottles of beer, wiskey, vodka, etc., and the wax itself was scented with the alcoholic beverage.
Imagine those used in church! :whacky:

That would be an adventurous liturgy, lol. Is it sinful to get drunk off the candles during the Divine Liturgy?

It is sinful to get drunk! :bible1:

For me it would either have to be either (a) bière blanche (white ale), or (b) Champagne Veuve Cliquot or (c) good, dry Lebanese (or, in a pinch, Israeli) 'arak (refer my earlier post in this thread). Not necessarily in that order, but as the mood strikes. Nothing but the finest. Nothing less will doThe Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic parish I attend on occasion (I’m a Roman - watch out!

Ah but bière blanche (aka bière blonde or, in Flemish, witbier) is most certainly monastic. One (alas very expensive and beyond my reach these days) is S Sixtus. Another is Leffe. And of course there is Affligem. All monsatic (at least in origin).
And as well, remember that it was the good Dom Perignon (OSB) who effectively invented champagne.
I’ll leave the 'arak discussion for another time.

Very interesting. I don’t think I’ve had any of them. Funny with the 'arak.Ah but bière blanche (aka bière blonde or, in Flemish, witbier) is most certainly monastic.

When it comes to wine and spirits, I mostly stick to the regular: Smirnoff vodka, Courvoisie cognac. I want to get a hold of some Absinthe, now that it’s legal. I’ve never had any, but it looks like an experience.
Something tells me Absinthe isn’t monastic. :bounce:

I’m not a real champagne girl … but I do like a good liqueur with religious connections - Frangelico (complete with vaguely monk-shaped bottle) - yumm!Ah but bière blanche (aka bière blonde or, in Flemish, witbier) is most certainly monastic.

And I like German beers - Franziskaner (Franciscan) and Paulaner (Pauline) beers both originated with religious orders, hence their names.

I lived in Belgium for two years and seemed like every beer was made by the monks. My favorite was Stella, made by trappist monks.
Belgian premium beer brand with tradition dating back to 1366.
It was great to bicycle around the country and see the monks place with 1000’s of kegs piled up in back.
