Ooops, sorry Iron Uncle Joe, another part of the Word of Wisdom takes a hit...

Obviously the key is moderation as with wine and everything else in life.

I daresay that Samuel Adams Boston Ale has healed me a time or two.

yuck! I dislike beer! I think screwdrivers are good for my health!! hehe

Hhhmmm, maybe I'll try some Samuel Adams light lauger before too long . . . .

Well that shows the original Word of Wisdom had even more truth to it since it says "and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain. " At the time, mild drinks meant beers and ales etc.

Just the modern church chose to ignore that advice...

Then perhaps, maybe all of the more potent "ultimate" micro-tailored beers and ales. Might fit in a catagory of mEads above the 3.2%w 4.0%v Utah controlled regulation level. Called south of the border brews.
