Monks have specific restrictions on alcohol consumption as outlined in the Rule of Saint Benedict. Generally, each monk is allowed a daily consumption of wine, typically quantified as 'one hemina' (approximately 0.274 liters) per day, with provisions for those who are weaker or sick to have more[1][4]. Monastic superiors may adjust these amounts based on local conditions and the needs of the community, but drunkenness is expressly prohibited[1][3].
Additionally, monks are advised to drink moderately and refrain from excess, as excessive drinking can lead even wise men astray[1][4]. Excessive consumption and the act of grumbling about restrictions are also discouraged, as grumbling is viewed as a spiritual illness[1][2].
