The health code of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) is called the Word of Wisdom. The Word of Wisdom was revealed to the prophet Joseph Smith in 1833, but was only loosely followed until the 1920's.
The Word of Wisdom forbids the drinking of wine, 'strong drink', and 'hot drinks'. (Hot drinks were later defined as coffee and tea), saying that 'strong drinks' (alcohol) is for cleaning, not drinking. It also forbids the use of tobacco, saying that it should only be used for sick cattle, not for man.
The Word of Wisdom says meats are to be used sparingly unless in times of winter or famine. It also encourages increased consumption of herbs, spices, fruits, and whole grains.
Later Church leaders have added that caffeinated beverages, especially energy drinks, are to be avoided, as well as illegal drugs.

Are Mormons allowed alcohol?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) adhere to a health code called the "Word of Wisdom". This health code prohibits the use of strong drinks, saying alcohol is to be used for cleaning, not drinking. If members desire to attend temple worship services (seperate from Sunday worship services) they must be striving to live this health code. If a Church member does drink alcohol regularly, they will not be admitted into temple worship services but may continue to participate Sunday worship services and other congregation activities. In order to qualify for baptism into the church, you must abstain from alcohol for a certain period of time.
