Adam was serving as an LDS missionary when this experience occurred.
-
After a meeting at work, I asked my coworkers if they had heard any interesting stories involving missionaries. I work at the MTC (missionary training center), so I was sure some people there would have heard these kinds of stories. Adam sent me this story later on in an email because he remembered I had asked for stories like this.
-
Church missionaries teach others about their religious beliefs. Fasting is abstaining from food and drink for a period of time in order to bring oneself closer to God or when asking for special blessings.

Adam sent me an email with this story in it after I asked a group of coworkers if they had any stories. It is\rcopied directly from the email he sent with a few grammatical edits.\r\rThe coolest one that I experienced (perhaps the coolest), so it isn't really folklore... We were teaching a family, and every day we went the dad was drunk. The family and us decided to fast for their dad to quick drinking. Even down to the youngest kid who was 8 years old. A day or two after the fast he was admitted into the hospital...he had stomach ulcers. He hasn't drunken alcohol since.
