Hey, I think Baptists could stand to loosen up a bit (they ought to be affirming the glorification of God in their bodies, and then let that take care of myriads of issues only ONE of which is drinking to excess). If that’s what you are alluding to by Whiskey-palians. The Baptists came off of the Anglican church, believing that reform did not go far enough (and they were wise to have done that — a church stuck to a government is going to get dragged through the mud sooner or later).

There is an old saying about Baptists that contains a great deal of truth: they'll vote for prohibition as long as they can stagger to the polls.
My use of the slang term “whiskeypalians” was an attempt (perhaps a poor attempt) at humor; the attempt may have been misguided, but it was not intended to be taken literally.
In any event, the US Episcopal Church is an offshoot of the Anglican Church of Scotland not the Anglican Church of England. The Church of Scotland is Presbyterian. I'll leave it to you to research the difference; there is one, I assure you.
