Did Joseph Smith ever drink alcohol?
The Short Answer
The Word of Wisdom came in 1833, but it wasn't enforced as a strict commandment for decades. People drank wine and beer in those days, including Joseph and other early leaders. The Church's Saints books show how members gradually grew into living it the way we do now.
