Jeff, 
I'm curious to ask, if you wouldn't mind answering yet another question: Is there anything in the aforementioned texts which talks about the virtue of tolerating and accepting other people who desire to drink? Or are the followers of LDS Church to discourage them? So far we seem to have established that drinking and smoking has specific social and health concerns today, and that perhaps ties in to moral and religious issues where Mormonism is concerned. So the real question I have is where do the texts lean in the debate of tolerance?  
 
The question stems from a particular situation. I am a drinker, you see, and so are most of my friends. Although one good friend of mine is a Mormon, he never mentions our habits/beliefs as conflicting with his own when we drink around him. Do we put him in any kind of situation? 
 
Thanks,  
Adam
