Yes, if they want to. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) does not prohibit consumption of soda drinks.
Mormons do follow a health code which prohibits 'strong drinks' (alcohol) and 'hot drinks' (coffee and tea) as well as tobacco and illegal drugs. Some Mormons do choose to avoid caffeinated sodas, and a few even avoid soda drinks altogether, but this is purely a personal choice based on the fact that they are unhealthy, it is not a requirement of their church. Many Mormons are focused on staying healthy, as they believe their bodies are sacred gifts from God and should be cared for.

∙ 14y agoSure! Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) can technically drink whatever they want! Most members choose to follow the "Word of Wisdom", a health code they believe was revealed by God to the Prophet Joseph Smith.
The Word of Wisdom prohibits "wine and strong drinks" and "hot drinks". Subsequent Church leaders have added 'addictive or habit-forming substances' and in recent years have specifically mentioned energy drinks. How a Church member decides to interpret these guidelines is between he and the Lord. It is generally interpreted as alcohol, coffee, and tea. Some Church members may also choose to avoid Hot Chocolate, energy drinks, caffeinated sodas, or even all soda. It just depends on what they think is right.
I know active members of the Church that are in good standing in the Church who drink caffeinated sodas on a daily basis. I also know Church members in good standing who do not drink any soda. I know active members who often drink energy drinks as well. In order to maintain a temple recommend, as most Church members do, they must avoid alcohol, coffee, and tea. Anything beyond that is their personal interpretation and decision.

∙ 11y agoNo. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) believe that God has given a health code, called the "Word of Wisdom". This health code prohibits the consumption of 'strong drink' (alcohol), 'hot drink' (tea and coffee), tobacco, and harmful or addictive substances.
It is quite common (but not required) for Mormons to avoid drinking caffeinated beverages, since caffeine can be harmful and addictive. Some Mormons avoid all Carbonated Beverages. This is not very common and is also a personal decision based on individual interpretation of the health code. The Church does serve carbonated beverages at it's cafeterias and it is not opposed to it's members drinking them.

When you drink root beer through a straw do you get a tummy ache?
Actually, it's more common with root beer, but drinking ANY carbonated beverages is linked to non-ulcer related stomach pain. More so, it seems, when drinking them through a straw. The reason is that when you drink carbonated beverages without a straw a portion of the carbonation is eliminated, or neutralized, when it reacts to the saliva in your mouth. If you drink carbonated beverages through a straw, quickly, it fills your stomach with a lot of the gas caused when it reacts to the acid in your stomach, stretching the stomach lining and causing discomfort and pain. If you do drink carbonated beverages through a straw, drink them slowly and give your system time to adjust. You may find that your stomach is telling you to slow down, more often than you realize!
