The Pope Says His Preferred Medication for Injury Is Tequila

Hey barkeep, hurry up.

Pope Francis stopped to speak with onlookers as he passed through St. Peter's Square in Vatican City. The Mexican seminary students from the Legion of Christ asked the Argentine leader in Spanish how his knee was doing, according to the AP.

Francis responded in the clip that was shared today by USA Today.

Francis cracked wise when the students thanked the Pope for pushing through the pain and said he was an example for future priests.

Francis asked what he needed for his leg.

The students promised to deliver a bottle to the hotel where the Pope lives.

Even if he wasn't being serious, the Pope wasn't terribly off the mark. Several Mexican-American restaurants have made sure to advertise tequila to their customers because of research that found that moderate alcohol intake can combat chronic pain.

That doesn't mean that Francis is going to be lit soon.

He uses a wheelchair and a cane to help heal his knee and is undergoing physical therapy for two hours a day. Since the issue has been going on for a long time, it is likely that the Pope has taken a prescription pain medication. In that case, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism says it's not a good idea to mix drugs and alcohol.

It is good to see world leaders even if the Catholic Church has a bad history. Cheers to the Pope's quick recovery.

It's likely that you have a parasites in your eyeball.
