Question

I am a Kohen, and often people want me to make Kiddush before Mussaf. Is there a problem with this?

Answer

It is permissible to make Kiddush and to drink, but if you want to drink a revi'it of wine [150 ml] and not just a taste, mix a little water into the wine cup. However, drinking more is prohibited so that you can perform the Priestly Blessing during Mussaf.
