The early colonists didn't drink often or much, maybe a glass a day. "It was a common drink, somewhat like Pepsi or Coke is today."
"But as the abuse of the Sacramental wine increased, wine was
abandoned in favor of water in sacramental services. A directive to this end was issued by the St. George Stake on
9 July 1892."
