There is the recent news story about the Sacramento priest who showed up a a baptism drunk.
He was subsequently suspended while the diocese looks into what happened. I think it was all a terrible misunderstanding. I imagine this is what really happened.
Church Secretary: Father, will you be available Saturday to come in to dunk.
Father: Well, okay.
Just a simple misunderstanding and maybe time for a hearing test.

Or the “oldie but goodie…”
An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut . The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest’s breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.
He says, ‘Sir, have you been drinking?’
‘Just water,’ says the priest.
The trooper says, ‘Then why do I smell wine?’
The priest looks at the bottle and says, ‘Good Lord! He’s done it again!’
