Comments on: Why don’t Mormons drink alcohol? http://www.mormondna.org/mormon-culture/mormons-drink-alcohol.html What Mormons Are Really Made Of Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:25:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Leah http://www.mormondna.org/mormon-culture/mormons-drink-alcohol.html#comment-1886 Leah Sat, 03 Dec 2011 22:24:49 +0000 http://www.mormondna.org/?p=37#comment-1886 I've never been looked at as "evil" by my Mormon family/friends for having an occasional drink, so it does seem like more of a personal and cultural choice and they just choose for themselves not to drink. I also know a lot of Christians who do not drink at all, because they know it can lead to drunkenness which the Bible does warn against. Additionally it can be a stumbling block to others who have a problem with addiction, so I understand when people make the choice not to touch the stuff. I am around my husband's special forces Army buddies who get together with the sole purpose OF drinking so it's acceptable within that culture. With the fact that Jesus drank wine it cannot be considered a sin though. He was called a drunk (winebibber) and He didn't care. He also turned water into wine at a wedding, which probably made Him pretty popular with the guests! FYI my uncle cannot live without his Dr. Peppers and still goes to the temple on a regular basis. Is full adherence to the Word of Wisdom still a requirement to get in? If so he's such a rebel. :) I’ve never been looked at as “evil” by my Mormon family/friends for having an occasional drink, so it does seem like more of a personal and cultural choice and they just choose for themselves not to drink.
