yeah, it's all stupid arbitrary rules. you aren't allowed to drink any form of tea either. it also says any form of premarital sex is the second worse sin to murder. and of course there's all the stuff they like to ignore, like the stuff about not divorcing or anything that doesn't align with their business ideals of making money off the members

I believe the wording is "drinks which burn the throat" which naturally means:

❌ Coffee
❌ Alcoholic drinks
❌ Coca Cola
❌ Hot tea
❌ Chai lattes
✅ Sprite, other non-caffeinated soft drinks
✅ Hot Chocolate
✅ Kombucha
✅ Energy drinks???
✅ Herbal Tea (even while hot, but mostly if you're sick as a home remedy)

Most of the focus is interpreted as "contains caffeine and/or alcohol" but the wording is vague enough that it leaves for a lot of weird wiggle room people try to argue (based on convenience usually). It's quite silly
