It would be interesting to see what the crime rate statistics are now and then in five to ten years.

[@user-jy2vd2em6v]

Not even five years, instant crime I’m thinking.

[@califoo]

"It's a dying town" ... and she thinks alcohol consumption is going to save it. 😂

[@Ont785]

Couldn’t hurt.

[@kylebyobirtch3998]

This is the saddest thing I've heard in a while.

[@darrelldoran509]

Yep , you can still here the banjo's playing in many parts of Berta .

[@titusmccarthy]

Theme from Deliverance plays in background.

[@robhoneyman3974]

Was thinking about what to say but you nailed it

[@simonrockwell4254]

Wow ... This reminds me of a movie that banned dancing .. "It will lead to other things" One person looked to almost be in tears...

[@greggreg2263]

Time to get hammered time to get drunk time to act like a crazy punk!🦌

[@darrensawatzky3855]

if your Mormon simple don't drink

[@StephenRoss-po1rp]

I grew up Mormon and was it was easy until I meet Catholic girls

[@zigzag420mf]

There goes the neighborhood

[@collindaley9562]

It would be funny to check back in a year and see that everything in the town has gone to crap

[@darrelldoran509]

Yep , you can still hear the banjo's playing in the background in many parts of Berta .

[@JM-kx5op]

lol Mormons. No wonder the kids run away from that town.

[@Dot-he2ke]

I'd live in a dry town.

[@Ike-e1k]

What a shame. There is nothing that causes more death and destruction in a society than the use of alcohol. What a shame!

[@corryandrew2357]

Well what the heck are you doing when you drink?

[@murdercom998]

​@@corryandrew2357 He knows drinking will reveal his true self and he will beat his wife and kids.

[@corryandrew2357]

@murdercom998 I guess so yeah... that's scary that's what alcohol does to him

[@JessT-vg7ib]

Why wont anyone think of Jesus.

[@aprilbaby1960]

Didn’t Jesus drink wine? I actually remember a story about him turning water into wine…just saying.

[@ClarVad]

Oh come on, Mormons, get with the times.

[@corystarkiller]

What a shame, that's the wrong direction for society.

[@darrensawatzky3855]

the Mormons need to pray harder😂😂
