The Prophet Joseph Smith received the Word of Wisdom as a revelation from God in 1833. Today, the Word of Wisdom is recorded in a book of scripture called the Doctrine and Covenants (see D&C 89 , section heading). Mormons consider it a privilege as well as a responsibility to follow the Word of Wisdom and are grateful for the blessings of health and strength that come as they live by its counsel. Many people know that Mormons have “rules” about what they should and shouldn’t do. It is true that Mormons abide by a code of health called the Word of Wisdom. But rather than thinking of the Word of Wisdom as simply a set of rules or a list of do’s and don’ts, Mormons view the Word of Wisdom as a revelation from God that gives His counsel on how to live a healthy life.

Do Mormons drink alcohol, tea, and coffee?

In the Word of Wisdom, the Lord commands Mormons to abstain from harmful substances. Mormons are taught not to drink any kind of alcohol (see D&C 89:5–7). Mormons are also taught not to drink “hot drinks,” meaning coffee or any tea other than herbal tea (see D&C 89:9), and not to use tobacco (see D&C 89:8). Latter-day prophets have also taught that Mormons should abstain from using illegal drugs and abusing legal drugs (see For the Strength of Youth [booklet, 2011], 26).

What can Mormons eat and drink?

In addition to giving instruction on what not to partake of, the Word of Wisdom gives wise counsel about things that are good for our bodies. In the Word of Wisdom, the Lord states that fruits and vegetables should be partaken of with “prudence and thanksgiving” (D&C 89:111). He also instructs Mormons that meat is “ordained for the use of man,” and should be eaten “sparingly” (D&C 89:12), and that grain such as wheat “is good for the food of man” (D&C 89:16). Mormons also believe that in addition to taking care of our bodies with healthy food, we should also care for ourselves by exercising and getting enough sleep (see D&C 88:124; see also For the Strength of Youth, 27). To the Saints who keep the Word of Wisdom and obey the commandments, the Lord has promised “health in their navel and marrow to their bones,” “wisdom and great treasures of knowledge,” and the ability to “run and not be weary, and . . . walk and not faint” (D&C 89:18–20). Mormons believe that obeying the Word of Wisdom is a small price to pay for these beautiful blessings.
