The LDS church at first opposed this idea, but grudgingly decided that it would not be fair, after all, to deny spirits to the visitors from other lands.   The mormon primate declared, "Verily I say,  let the spirit flow freely -- let it flow to atone for the Church's sin in bribing the Olympic officials using church moneys.  We must make merry our guests from afar; let the spirits flow freely! These things I say in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

What better way to introduce Mormonism,  than with Joseph Smith's own creation, Pay Le Ale* beer.   Besides, the church admits, recent scientific studies have shown that one or two alcoholic beverages per day have beneficial effects on health.  Coffee, however, will be outlawed at Olympic venues.

**The Utah Governor [Leavitt] announced this while visiting the Nagano Olympics in Japan.

* Pay Lay Ale;  Pe Le Ale --- This is ADAMIC for "Hear these words of my mouth" (The vulgar form is "Read my lips").  When Mormons speak in tongues, they use Adamic.  Unfortunately the only Adamic words known are these three, so Mormons are only able to say "pay lay ale" to each other.  But they don't do this lightly. These words are usually only spoken in sacred (formerly secret)   Mormon temple ceremonies.   Mormon Theologians often lament the misspelling of pay lay ale.  The point out that the correct spelling is pay le ale, as in the label on Joseph Smith's brew.
