Bachelor fans are wondering more about Litia Garr since she revealed to Grant Ellis that she is Mormon. Grant has proclaimed himself a Christian. Many know that typically practicing Mormons do not consume alcohol. Does Litia follow this rule? Keep reading to find out more and what fans are saying.
Does Litia Garr Consume Alcohol?
Bachelor fans are wondering about Litia Garr and whether or not she drinks alcohol. Of course, the majority of contestants on the show do drink at least a little. The groups always do toasts after the rose ceremony.
However, Litia shared with Grant Ellis that she is Mormon and most who practice this religion do not drink alcohol. Is she one of them? Fans went to Reddit to discuss it and there are some varying opinions on the topic.
Some fans pointed out that there have been contestants in the past who do not drink alcohol. One of those is Zac Clark. He struggled with addiction in the past and is sober. During the season he would toast and use sparkling apple cider. In fact, Tayshia Adams did the same to make him feel okay about not drinking alcohol.
What Fans Are Saying About Litia And Drinking
Fans noted in the Reddit thread that they noticed Litia drinking cucumber water during one toast. However, many pointed out the whiskey tasting during their one-on-one and wondered if she was really drinking or if they substituted non-alcoholic beverages for her.
Here is what some fans are saying:
- “The fact that she’s about to marry a non-Mormon also says a lot about how strict she is with her religion. In the Mormon faith, one cannot get into the highest degree of heaven without being married in the Temple (and you have to be Mormon to get in). Many church leaders have told membership that they should not even date outside of their faith let alone get married.”
- “She probably didn’t actually drink it.”
- “I distinctly remember her drinking a cucumber water and toasting with it when other girls were drinking in one of the episodes.”
- “I noticed last ep his champagne class was empty at dinner and hers was full”
Another fan noted that it will be interesting to see how her family acts. They added that it might show how invested they are in the religion or if they are more lenient about following the rules.
What Does The Mormon Religion Say About Drinking?
As fans question if Litia Garr drinks alcohol or not, what does the Mormon religion say about it? According to many websites regarding the Mormon religion and the rules their followers partake in, alcohol is strictly forbidden in any form.
Those who follow the Mormon faith are taught that the body is a temple and should be treated with respect and care. There are also other things they are not supposed to drink or eat. Some of these things are caffeinated products. They are encouraged to limit their intake of caffeine. Those practicing the Mormon region are also encouraged to eat a diet full of fruits, vegetables and grains. They can eat meat and fish but should do so sparingly.
So far, Litia Garr has not shared with the public if she does or does not drink alcohol. Many practicing Mormons do have an occasional drink. Sister Wives stars Christine and Janelle Brown have both indulged in wine and other alcoholic beverages. Janelle did not try it until after she left polygamist Kody Brown.
Perhaps Litia will disclose more about how invested she is in the rules that the Mormon church follows.
What do you think? Do you think she drinks an occasional alcoholic beverage? Or does she strictly follow the guidelines?
