No Amount of Alcohol is Healthy
“If you're one of the third of all humankind who drinks alcohol, take note: There's no amount of liquor, wine or beer that is safe for your overall health, according to a new analysis of 2016 global alcohol consumption and disease risk.
Alcohol was the leading risk factor for disease and premature death in men and women between the ages of 15 and 49 worldwide in 2016, accounting for nearly one in 10 deaths, according to the study, published Thursday in the journal, The Lancet.
For all ages, alcohol was associated with 2.8 million deaths that year.” (Sandee LaMotte, cnn.com, 10/23/18)
God revealed to the prophet Joseph Smith in 1833 in D&C89:5-7:
“That inasmuch as any man drinketh wine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him. And, behold, this should be wine, yea, pure wine of the grape of the vine, of your own make. And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.”
I am gladdened that in this one area, and in addition to tobacco, science is again catching up with revelation.
