The Lord's Supper is a practice that is laid out in scripture where believers come together and eat bread (which signifies Christ's body that He has laid down for us) and drink the cup (which signifies the New Covenant promised through the blood of Christ). We do these things in remembrance of the Lord and await His return with a thankful heart. We don't partake of Christ's body and blood literally or physically, but spiritually. And we are nourished by the grace of God through the work of Jesus on the cross.
We don't pretend that we're drinking physical blood or flesh. Hopefully, we don't just "drink some juice and wafer".
