Monkish business

This is from a month ago or so, but "Buckie" is back in the news as Scottish health minister seems to be blaming all society's ills on it. In a previous story the BBC wrote:

Binge drinking - the Benedictine connection

Buckfast Tonic Wine originates from Roman Catholic monks - not a group traditionally associated with the drunken masses

Interesting choice of words there methinks.

Have they not heard the joke:

Q: How many English Benedictines does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Two - one to call the electrician while the other mixes the drinks.
