    It's apparently a kind of sake called Hannya Tou. Hannya for wisdom/prajna and tou for water. "Wisdom water", I guess. Or maybe "holy water" could be more appropriate.

    In short, the monks are not allowed to drink sake, so they get around it by calling it water. Apparently they eat dried fish with it too, hence the smells fishy bit.

    Edit: I think "holy water" works as a better translation, so I'll go edit that now.

    Thank you. The 'smells fishy' part actually means that they're suspicious, I just don't want to put it bluntly.

    haha, well, I imagine that there's an unintended double meaning that works well in English. Dried fish (which has a very strong smell, I assure you) is supposedly snacked upon while drinking, so I'm assuming that a literal fishy smell is raising suspicion.

    (I'm not a translator, btw, just someone that likes to research and google things. My source for the fish thing, is admittedly secondhand and derived from fiction, so take that with a grain of salt.)

    "I ain't boozin' up, I'm just drinkin' the blood o' Christ!" Something like that?

    Byakuren (and maybe Ichirin) is the only one that is considered a monk so I'd imagine the rest can technically drink as much as they want.

    Then again this guy really likes taking the series out of context so the source material is not really relevent here.

    Byakuren, Ichirin, and Shou can be considered monks but there's also the rule that they aren't allowed to drink sake in the temple, this applies to everyone. Even so, Shou is a heavy-drinker canonically, so this isn't that out of context.

    Amusing isn't it, given that she's the one shown here turning it down.

    Yeah. Guess she won't dare doing it in front of Byakuren.
