So Bob, a temple recommend holder, interprets D&C 89:17 -- "... and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain."-- to mean drinking beer is okay, so he drinks Coronas at Christmas parties every year.

Poll: How do you view Bob? (I've seen threads about this discussed already, but I like to see opinions in the poll results graph)

I apologize in advance for missing some possible choices.

I'm having a hard time figuring out why someone would possibly pick the second option -- it's either a sin or it isn't right?
