To clarify it isn't the caffiene that is the problem. We have been instructed to avoid coffee. Drinking it is considered a sin.
Caffeine is also in chocolate bars, hot chocolate, pop and those nice energy drinks that I often have. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that energy drinks actually have more caffiene than coffee... (I'm not sure if that is the case).
Beyond coffee, it has been recommended that we avoid pop with caffeine. In my opinion, it is just that... a suggestion. You have to understand though, that members of the mormon church have varying views on what is ok and what is bad. For example, as a missionary if someone offered me pepsi or coke I would drink it without hesitation. Another missionary I was friends with accidently drank it once (I guess he thought it was Rootbeer) and he acted like he had just killed someone... it was strange...
