Anything that is hot and anything with large amounts of caffeine are discouraged in our Church, because they can both be addictive substances. Addictive behavior is discouraged in our Church, too. The principle of eating healthily, keeping away from drugs and alcohol, and not drinking anything addictive is called the Word of Wisdom. However, the degree to which people follow the word of wisdom varies. Some Mormons drink coffee all the time; some won’t even drink hot chocolate or Coke/Pepsi/Dr.Pepper. To what degree people interpret the meaning of the Word of Wisdom is kind of a personal thing, I guess.
