Monks say take the middle path.. which insinuates possibly three paths?

Must be the blurred vision?

drunk monks in the mist ....     good name for a movie.

300 mg!! (6 times the maximum for DUI).

Only hardened alcoholics can reach that without falling into coma.

Excellent news. Anytime a drunkard monk, or a corrupt monk is removed, it is a good thing. 

 

Now, it is time to go after the more senior drunk and curruot abotts.
