==Question: Did Joseph Smith give some of the brethren money to purchase whiskey in violation of the Word of Wisdom?==
===The use of whiskey as a stimulant while traveling was allowed, but abusing it by getting drunk was not===
<blockquote>
The company moved on to Andover, where the Sheriff of Lee County requested lodgings for the night for all the company. I was put up into a room and locked up with Captain Grover. It was reported to me that some of the brethren had been drinking whiskey that day in violation of the Word of Wisdom.
 
I called the brethren in and investigated the case, and was satisfied that no evil had been done, and gave them a couple of dollars, with directions to replenish the bottle to stimulate them in the fatigues of their sleepless journey.<ref>''Millennial Star'' 21:283</ref>
