Did Saint Patrick drink Guineses?

Saint Patrick, being a bishop of the Church, definitely drank alcohol as often as every Sunday at mass during Eucharist. He also administered the chalice full of wine to parishioners with regularity. However, it is unlikely that he abused alcohol as a bishop of the Church, as many are prone to do in "celebration of his life", a life which was marked by modesty and sobriety, oddly enough.
