Best Answer

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God is the creator of their bodies and try to respect His creation by not consuming harmful substances, such as alcohol. They also believe that God has revealed a health code, called the "Word of Wisdom", which prohibits the consumption of "strong drinks" (defined by church leaders as alcohol) and "hot drinks" (defined as coffee and tea).

At present who abstains from alcoholic drinks?

There are two religions which do not allow their members to drink alcohol, Islam and Mormonism. Aside from that, there are lots of people who prefer not to drink. Some do not want to risk becoming alcoholics, and others just don't like the taste of alcohol. Personally I do not drink beer, although I don't mind a nice sherry.


What do people have against Mormonism?

The reasons why people dislike Mormonism vary widely. Most often it is just because people dislike beliefs and opinions that are different from their own. Some people have been misinformed about Mormonism and dislike it because of information which they think is true but actually is not. Still others dislike Mormonism just because it is a popular thing to do, although they may not know much about it. Others are against Mormonism because they were once a part of it and have felt wronged or offended by it in some way. For the most part, most people seem to either a.) recognize that they don't really know enough about Mormonism to have an opinion about it; or b.) think that it's a fine religion for those who choose it although they do not personally agree with it's doctrines or practices. Those who are actually antagonistic against Mormonism are quite few, but they are a very outspoken bunch.
