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."

Mormons do not drink tea and coffee (in their hot or iced versions). They also do not drink decaf coffee, herbal tea, chai, etc.

However, soft drinks (soda) are considered different from tea and coffee and are permitted. [/quote]
