What? The Mormons I know don’t drink caffeine. [/quote]

The Word of Wisdom prohibits "hot drinks." There has been a LOT of discussion about this within the LDS community,

The LDS Church website has clarified that this prohibition does not extend to caffeinated soft drinks.

[quote]SALT LAKE CITY - Maybe now, reporters, bloggers, outsiders and even many Mormons will accept that the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not forbid drinking cola.

The LDS church recently posted a statement on its website saying that "the church does not prohibit the use of caffeine" and that the faith's health-code reference to "hot drinks" "does not go beyond (tea and coffee)."

A day later, the website wording was slightly softened, saying only that "the church revelation spelling out health practices … does not mention the use of caffeine."

The same goes for the church's two-volume handbook, which LDS leaders use to guide their congregations. It says plainly that "the only official interpretation of 'hot drinks' … in the Word of Wisdom is the statement made by early church leaders that the term 'hot drinks' means tea and coffee."
