The traditional explanation of how the Word of Wisdom was viewed by the Latter-day Saints in the first decade, 1833-43, is not always supported by the evidence. As the story is usually told, the Word of Wisdom from its beginnings was given as a recommendation or a suggestion. In this article, the author will present evidence that paints a different picture than the traditional view of how the Word of Wisdom was viewed in the early church.
