Mild drinks
“In the Sunday school book called the Gospel Principles, page 194, what is meant by, grains may be used to make mild drink. What is meant by mild drink?” (Larry)
Actually verse 17 of D&C 89 specifically refers to barley being used to make mild drinks. Given that beer has a much lower alcohol content than other alcoholic beverages (e.g. vodka, whiskey), mild drinks in that verse probably refers to beer.
Prophets have since declared that beer is against the Word of Wisdom, so presently mild drinks would refer to non-alcoholic drinks made from barley. I don’t drink drinks derived from grain, so I am unfamiliar with on-the-market drinks that would fall under modern interpretation of ‘mild drinks’.
