Beer In The Woods

Alcohol consumption at the abbey in my day was reserved for feast days and special occasions. Never cans of beer in the woods! Is this traditional monastic formation?

One is reminded of the "Modus Operandi" of The Society Of St John SSJ, when Dom Gregory was known as Fr Dominic Carey. 

The systematic grooming of the boys of St. Gregory’s began with the introduction of alcohol and tobacco designed to lower the sexual inhibitions and moral resistance of potential victims.

Even after Hicks informed Fr. Urrutigoity that these nocturnal visits were causing problems, the practice of late night spiritual counseling and giving boys alcohol and tobacco continued.[21] There were also reports that students were purchasing marijuana off campus and smoking with their schoolmates at the Academy.[22]

Oh well, these youthful Farnborough monks are adults. I'm sure nothing like this goes on when the young Slovakian altar servers or The Oxford Oratory Scouts visit?
