Thayne, If they're available to you, take a look at the tables of contents of
 the
early volumes of the _Quarterly Journal on Studies of Alcohol_ for good stuff
relating to your questions--including, in particular:  Benson Y. Landis, "A
Survey of Official Church Statements on Alcoholic Beverages," QJSA 6(4):515-539,
1946.
Cheers!  Ron
