I'm inclined to agree with anatess. If people want to get picky, the WOW doesn't even mention ALCOHOL but 'strong drink'. That could be open to interpretation, too. I could interpret that to mean no spirits, but beers and lagers are fine.
We as members tend to focus on what we SHOULDNT be doin rather than what we SHOULD (Bizarre, really)
Im really into health living. I have ALWAYS wondered how grossly overweight people can get away with saying they live the word of wisdom just because they dont smoke and drink. That is a SMALL part of it. The WOW is a LIFESTYLE not abstinence from substances.
Its scientifically proven as well as in the WOW what we need to be eating. 50% of your plate should be vegetables/salad, a quarter (preferable wholegrain) carbs, and a quarter protein. Bad fats (cakes, biscuits, all hydrogenated and sat fats) should be eaten SPARINGLY. That to me means maybe once or twice a week depending on what it is.
Obviously I am not judging overweight people for their take on the WOW. It is up to them how they interpret it. Its just weird how all we focus on is alcohol, tobacco and tea and coffee when there's so much more in it.
