Will someone please tell the Mormons that drinking alcohol does not always lead to sinful parties? One or two beers or glasses of wine will not make a person DRUNK. Hell, even 4-5 drinks over several hours will not.Karin Mayo loves her Pittsford neighbors but worried about hosting a neighborhood cookout for fear that someone would bring wine or beer. She is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which instructs its members to avoid alcohol.
Mormons are so immature when it comes to alcohol. Why? Because they believe what they are told at church. Grow up you ninnies.
It gets worse:
Imagine that, you arrive at your neighbor's party, expecting to enjoy a few adult beverages only to find out there are none. Why? Their church says they cannot. So why are the non member neighbors not allowed?"So I said on the invitations that we'd provide the drinks," Mayo recalls.
As if those who do drink any alcohol have less values or lower standards?"We don't want to compromise our values or standards," Mayo says
Then the real intent of the party and no alcohol:
BINGO. Missionary moments!"But we don't want to miss out on the value of connecting with others."
At my current employer, our site has quarterly celebrations which include beer and wine. Yes, while at work. Can you imagine such a party at a Utah company? Even our company picnic that we take our children to serves beer and wine. It was quite fun watching my former ward members with jaws dropped and eyes the size of saucers, watch me drink beer at these functions. They would not make eye contact or speak to me..
