His recommendation was that you freeze any leftover wine in ice cube trays. Then pull them out for drinking, or as a handy method of adding wine to dishes for cooking.

Really, really good. If you only ever try one non-alc, try this one (brewed by Guiness). Yummy.

My car gets 40 rods to the hog’s head, and that’s the way I likes it.

Seriously… orange juice has more alcohol than non-alcoholic beer (see also: fermentation of oranges).

Appearance of evil? Are people who drink beer evil? No. At least, not in my humble opinion. If I am wrong, may my eternal soul be shredded up and strewn on a parade of murderers and single mothers.

Now excuse me while I drink my Diet Coke and eat meat (see also: not in a time of famine).

As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. –Acts 21:25

The members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Meridian-day Saints were forbidden to eat blood of meat that had been offered to idols or strangled. Does this change your view of the WoW, including the forbidden four?

I’ll have you all know that my brother, the unsung J Stapley, has been known to buy the big jug of Vodka from the liquor store because he makes his own vanilla extract (they didn’t have straight grain alchohol).

That sounds interesting, how do you do it?

Why not? I’ve certainly told my kids what I think the reasons are.

You’ve questioned your faith and been less active how long? And you’ve never tried anything? Now I know you’ve been long married, but what do you do when you hang with your buds?

Maybe it was a reactionary thing, but in the less active cliques I hung with at BYU, life revolved around booze, women and speed (for studies). I had poor self esteem back then, but I fitted right in at Michigan (grad school) and felt much better about myself. I think that was my first step in coming back to church.

Obviously, this is a load of hooey. Lot’s daughters didn’t get him drunk on grape juice, Noah didn’t pass out from grape juice, and, most astoundingly, the Lamanites didn’t fall asleep and neglect the defense of their cities from grape juice.

Wine is wine. No one wants to try to explain to children why it’s alright for Jesus to drink wine, but not us. Or why it’s okay that Joseph Smith and the early apostles regularly drank alcoholic beverages, but not us.

I’ve never had a drop of alcohol in my life, and I’ll be d—ed if I know why.
