take your pick

I was watching a documentary on Tv the other day entitled "Iran: The World's Most Dangerous Country." Although the obviously subjective title put me off a bit, I watched it because I crave information on parts of the world that are usually closed off to most. I love watching stuff on North Korea, Iran, Cuba, etc...
An Iranian doctor was asked about the 1979 Islamic Revolution, a revolution in which the relatively secular government was overthrown and subsequently replaced by a council of religious leaders, and this was his reply:
"Before the Revolution, we used to pray at home and go out to drink. Now, we drink at home and go out to pray."
The implications are meant to be obvious. I'm willing to say that option No. 1 is more conducive to a healthier lifestyle. Take your pick.
