I also found the actual article interesting for it's[1] study of alcohol
drinking habits in the 17th century european immigrants into America

Some hard drinking but other less so (but still drinking)

Worship and quaffing booze went together like Calvin and predestination for the Pilgrim Fathers.

(church times site has restrictions for non customers but you can read
the occasional article if you're not paid up)
