I believe the wording is "drinks which burn the throat" which naturally means:

  • ❌ Coffee
  • ❌ Alcoholic drinks
  • ❌ Coca Cola
  • ❌ Hot tea
  • ❌ Chai lattes
  • ✅ Sprite, other non-caffeinated soft drinks
  • ✅ Hot Chocolate
  • ✅ Kombucha
  • ✅ Energy drinks???
  • ✅ Herbal Tea (even while hot, but mostly if you're sick as a home remedy)

Most of the focus is interpreted as "contains caffeine and/or alcohol" but the wording is vague enough that it leaves for a lot of weird wiggle room people try to argue (based on convenience usually). It's quite silly
