I don't know why they think it is "OKAY" -- Forget religion for a minute. Common sense says "Don't put poison into your body." Drinking alcohol (think about it) is tantamount to "putting poison" into your body. Is it not? I mean, is somone actually going to disagree with me on that point?
Same goes for smoking.
For those who don't buy into common sense, our Church has what is called the Word of Wisdom -- a health guide from the Lord. He loves us. He cares about us. That includes our physical well-being. What kind of God would He be if He let that sort of thing go on without saying something? I think the answer is obvious. I think the answer is the Word of Wisdom.
