1-11
Aaron's sons offer strange fire (Exodus 30:9) and are killed and removed. Their brothers and father may not mourn and must continue ministering before God. God adds a rule against drinking wine or any intoxicant when the priests go into the tabernacle (8-11). Some suggest that this is a response to Nadab and Abihu - they were drunk when they offered strange fire.
12-20
Moses reminds the priests to eat of the sacrifices they have just offered, and notices they burned the sin offering of the people, instead of eating it. Aaron basically tells Moses, "Look we're scared to death after what happened to Nadab and Abihu." Moses gives them a break, realizing the mistake was not out of rebellion or carelessness, but being scrupulous and fearful for/of God's holiness and power.
I would see a loose connection from this to our partaking of Communion today. Partaking wrongly and sinfully can result in judgment (see 1 Corinthians 11:29-30). But we are not to stay away from the table out of fear, either, but are to come in faith and rejoice in God's blessings to us.
