AH>BA> He claims to be a Mormon.  I've no reason to question that claim.
AH>BA>  Mormons do not drink alcohol - or coffee or soda pop (I think
AH>BA> the  ban is on beverages that contain caffeine).  It therefore
AH>BA> follows  from the two premises that he has never been drunk, and
AH>BA> thus never  had a DUI.

AH>Those are rules Mormons are supposed to follow, and there is no
AH>reason to  believe Ed does not follow them (he has stated that he
AH>does  not drink alcohol, and that's enough for me), but, just as 
AH>there are Jews who don't keep kosher, and Catholics who 
AH>have had abortions or use birth control, it is likely that 
AH>there are Mormons who drink alcohol, despite the religious 
AH>prohibition. Not every member of a religious faith follows 
AH>all the rules of the faith, so just saying "Mr. Doe is a 
AH>Mormon" doesn't absolutely prove Mr. Doe doesn't drink.
