engrasan sus cuerpos tomando orujo
Os pongo el contexto:
Hoy también es fiesta en Roa. No sé qué Virgen de no sé qué milagros de una ermita que hay cerca del pueblo. Y, desde muy temprano, los cofrades engrasan sus cuerpos tomando orujo en el bar de la plaza.
No sé cómo traducir "engrasan sus cuerpos tomando orujo": significa que se llenan el estómago tomando orujo? O voy desencaminada?
Muchas gracias por la ayuda.

si lubrificano / si ungono con la grappa
cominciano a riscaldarsi con l'acquavite
l' acquavite si vende nei bar (sono seduti a dei tavolini di un bar, lo dice il testo), mentre la vinaccia come tale no! "Grappa" mi sembra troppo specifico dell'Italia.
