 Do your own will in heaven as in earth: now is the time for drinking!

In a post from SUSI (e-mail not given)
I saw a Latin quote.  I want to know what it means...  yes, I'm just
nosy.  Please no flamin' for off-topicness.  Saw it on this NG.

What does
<<fiat voluntas tua sicut in coelo et in terra. nunc est bibendum.>
mean?
Susi?
Anybody?

Best I can get, not having done Latin for ages:
"....both in the ?sky? or on the Earth.  Nothing is worth drinking."
and doesn't <<fiat>> have something to do with doing,
            <<tua>>  mean yours
            <<voluntas>> I presume has something to do with
		         choice???

What?:
"Do your own thing, both in Heaven and on Earth.  Nothing is worth
drinking"

I fear Caelus, or somesuch word is "sky", so I'm not sure about "coelo".
I'm still probably talking rubish.  Someone help.

Is is something to do with Epicureanism?
