D & C 895 That inasmuch as any man drinketh wine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.

6 And, behold, this should be wine, yea, pure wine of the grape of the vine, of your own make.

7 And, again, strong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.

Answer

Yes, of course we *can* drink alcohol, but as the user above noted, we are commanded not to.

The Word of Wisdom

Chapter 18

Anyone can drink alcohol, although why is beyond me. People probably lose about 20 or more IQ points when they're drunk. Alcohol was originally meant for external use. If something is meant for external use, you probably shouldn't ingest it.

We can't, and most of us don't, but a few do. I, for one, am HIGHLY against it, even though I'm only 13, but that doesn't make much of a difference.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe in following the "Word of Wisdom", which is a health code that was revealed from God to Joseph Smith. This health code prohibits the consumption of alcohol, and specifically states that alcohol is meant for cleaning purposes.

One must avoid alcohol to qualify for baptism and to qualify to hold leadership or teaching positions in the Church.
