Whether or not an Adventist uses Caffeine or not is simply a personal choice. However, Adventists are known worldwide as a people that emphasizes the health message, and the original diet that God gave to man. To many Adventists, health is very important. Many dedicated Adventists are vegan, and promote disease prevention and a healthy diet. If you want learn more about diet and Adventists, a popular documentary is "The Adventists." It details the Adventism background, how the church got started, and follows the lives of several patients at a popular Adventist hospital in Loma Linda, California.
Seventh-day Adventists do not take objection to the appropriate use of narcotic medications prescribed by a doctor.
no we dont because it is kind of like a drug ~ We can drink caffeine but it is discouraged because the caffeine is actually a drug/stimulant. There are Adventists who do drink caffeine, some more than others. Some Adventists believe if it's in "moderation" it's okay. But, the church ADVISES to not drink coffee, Coca-Cola, etc. with any amounts of caffeine.
Many Seventh Day Adventists oppose the consumption of tea and coffee because of their caffeine content. However, when they need a 'lift', some consume chocolate, which is also a good source of caffeine. Many strict Later Day Saints (Mormons) abstain from the use of caffeine.
There is no official Seventh-day Adventist bible. Adventists are free to study from what ever bible they choose to study from and do any research into the original documents that they choose to research.
Seventh-day Adventists shun Alcoholic Beverages, one of which is wine, or fermented fruit juice. Adventists read in The Bible, which is their guide to living, that the human body is, in a sense, a temple that should not be defiled in any way. Since alcohol is known to be injurious to the human body in a number of ways, Adventists do not partake of beverages that contain it. Incidentally, alcohol is a drug, just like heroin or cocaine, and is always classified as such.

In certain ways, they are similar. However, there are lots of key differences, like the belief in Jesus Christ! But, the similarities lie in the fact that they both observe the original Sabbath of God, and that they both use Kosher laws to choose what is clean and unclean to eat. The other similarities are the same that lie between any Christian denomination and Judaism
Short answer: No. Long answer: Seventh-day Adventists as a denomination are against the use of tobacco in all its forms as part of a healthy lifestyle (also including teetotalism and, preferably, vegetarianism), and have long been in the practice of holding stop-smoking seminars. Giving up smoking is considered a requirement for baptism.

They certainly do. In some more conservative churches, the members prefer only live music (rather than recorded music), but it would be a very exceptional Adventist church that did not use music of some kind in its church service.
Seventh-day Adventists do not have a personal Bible, they use the same Bible that all christians use.
