I was wondering because I know they can't drink alcohol and caffeine.

"Cause I know your out there. and your looking for me
It's a crazy idea that,
You were made perfectly, for me, You'll see...
Just like the movies!
Thats how it will be.
Cenimatic, and dramatic, with that perfect ending..."

We can drink greentea. but no we don't drink regular teas. =)

"It's not like the movies,
but thats how it should be.
When he's the one you'll come undone.
And your world will stop spinning, and it's just the beginning..." -Katy Perry

Actually, there's no stipulations against caffine in the mormon faith. We belive we shouldn't drink Alcohol, Coffee, or Tea (however, herbal tea's are ok. Just nothing made with the Tea Leaf). But the comandment that teaches us not to drink these things also encourages us to eat/drink healthily and to take care of our bodies in general. Caffine can be addictive and effect your mind negativly so many mormons avidly exclude it from their diet, but some don't.
In my opinion, If I'm really trying ot live the Word of Wisdom (the commandment), I need to cut back on fat's, sugars, Chocolate ( ninja ), ect. Not just coke and monster.

Pretty much it's we are counseled to not consume any substance which is addictive that may harm our bodies. It's not said that we 'can't' drink caffeine, but only suggested that we shouldn't. I personally drink caffeinated drinks a lot, but it doesn't mean I'm not faithful to my religion and what I believe

I've heard go either way. My grandma is hardcore Mormon who has a weakness for Mountain Dew.

I don't drink caffeine because one ounce of the stuff gives me a major migraine for three hours.

Yea, Herbals are okay. It's a thin line and you have to know what goes in what tea to really know what's okay.

Or just get the fruit stuff like I do, that's pretty safe XD
