Slightly drunk pair of priests getting into bed? (5)

I believe the answer is:

happy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'slightly drunk' is the definition.
(happy can mean drunk)

'pair of priests getting into bed?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'priests' could be 'pp' (two instances of an abbreviation for priest) and 'pp' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hay' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for happy that I've seen before include "Delighted" , "Fortunate; content" , "Pleased; fortunate" , "Blissful" , "Carefree" .)
