They read something like this: 'Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.' Another may read: 'It's the popular thing to do.' Another one may read: 'Just this once won't matter.'

See Galatians 6:7. Another one: 'There is a law, irrevocably decreed in heaven before the foundations of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated- And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated.' (D&C 130:20-21) Thus we have two roads to follow, and we have the responsibility to choose.
