It's not an "allowed" thing - it's a "should you" thing. The church, in an act of what seems to me to be common sense, urges us to stay away from harmful or addictive substances. Some people may find caffiene addictive or harmful. If you can't function without your coke, or if drinking one gives you a headache, or if you can't stop drinking them because you'll get a headache, you'd be wise to consider staying away.
Other people find nothing at all addictive or harmful about caffeine. My bishop tells me that the question most asked of him is "Can you drink coke and go to the temple?" And his answer is "yes". LM

Do you mean "in the building"?
Or do you mean allowed within the Word of Wisdom? |

Those drinks are not prohibited by the Word of Wisdom.

Most of the missionaries I knew drank either Pepsi, Mt. Dew or Dr. Pepper with a passion. There was quite a few Rockstars and Monsters as well.

A friend of mine who is a stake president drinks Pepsi.
The word of wisdom counsels against "Hot drinks" and I believe modern scientific research is showing that heated liquids, are heads and shoulders above anything else, destructive to the teeth as they turn the calcium compounds to lime in every increasing amounts. |

It's personal choice. If you feel addicted to it then avoid it, but as others have said it hasn't been specified as against the WoW.

My interpretation of the Word of Wisdom is that it prohibits the consumption of anything upon which you could develop a dependency...coke, coffee, nicotine, water, air........
