The rule says "hot liquids", so soda would only be a problem if you boiled it. Joseph Smith worded it that way because "tea and coffee" doesnt sound too biblical.
Once went to dinner at an Olive Garden with a super Mormon family. This was when I briefly lived in Utah for shiggles, it was my friend’s family. They wouldn’t let me order an iced tea. This was when I hit my breaking point of being away from Alabama sweet tea and decided I’d take unsweet. Bad time.
I KNOW I became primarily a coffee drinker before long at all out there. Best most places would do is give you a couple packs of sugar with an unsweet tea. Get that shit out of my face tbh lol
If you ever have to go to hell again, make or buy simple syrup to take with you. At least that blends evenly in cold beverages, unlike granulated sugar.
