Because they want us to know early on that alcohol isn't an evil. In moderation, there's nothing wrong with drinking it.

[Eulaliaaa!]

Also, most of those votes are probably people who just sampled it from their parent's glass rather than drink their own.

My findings with alcohol:

Bailey's: Disgusting.
Cider: Nice but has a weird aftertaste - may have just been because it was cheap.
Beer: What I've had was awful, but all beers are different so...
Wine: Tastes bad.
Champagne: Unoffensive, but I really don't get what the big deal is.
Whiskey: Smells so bad I'm never going to drink it.
Rum&Coke: Blech.
Pepsi with Vodka: Just tastes like Pepsi, though I imagine there are stronger mixes, whereas the one I had was weak.

Guess I'm just not an alcohol person.

Yeah people put way to little vodka and way too much pepsi, juice or whatever else in those "cocktails". I never really understood why. If you don't want to taste vodka then just drink the pepsi or juice. If you want vodka drink it straight or at least a decent %. Dunno I always preferred it straight, I've only sometimes added a bit of water to this vodka https://www.masterofmalt.com/vodka/balkan-176-degree-vodka/

Its also harder to tell how much you've had to drink when its mixed up and that can lead to problems.

But as far as the poll goes the first time I tasted alcohol was in my early teens, can't remember the exact age though...

[Søren]

Yeah. And I only had permission to try it once.

[Kitsune]

What I'm wondering is why everyone's giving their -10 kids alcohol.

Because party every day!1!!11¡¡11!!!

Based on your ethical/moral views or ?

[Wylder Treejumper]

As LDS, we believe that the use of alcohol and all other forms of addictive and mind-altering substances, especially for recreational or social purposes, is not right, whether or not is is accepted by society.

So then what are your views on: smoking, coffee, soft drinks, energy drinks etc... ?

Yes, my thoughts exactly, I am allowed the occasional sip. Wine tastes ok, I'd much rather have kombucha though, I don't like beer at all, those are the only two I've ever had, even then just a tiny bit.

I'm curious about this too.

[James Gryphon]

From my understanding, Mormon doctrine is opposed to them all.

[Jukka the Sling]

I heard they're okay with soft drinks now.

[Maudie]

Smoking and coffee are out, but soft drinks and energy drinks are up to the individual. Some Mormons avoid caffeine altogether, others avoid large quantities of caffeine, and others are okay with it.

That sounds like a pretty healthy way to live.
