    Now that makes me think.

    • Could this be one of those kinds of ceremonies where multiple people drink from the cup while blessing the host of the ceremony (birthdays and such)?
      • Kind of like the modern "cheers" chant.
    • Or could it be intended to say, "bless the one drinking out of the cup"?
