The Mormonish Podcast examines a trend of faithful Latter-day Saints beginning to drink coffee while attributing the prohibition to Brigham Young rather than core doctrine—a workaround the host describes as "genius." The 5,100-view video in 34 hours explores how some members are reinterpreting the Word of Wisdom's coffee ban.

The trend reflects broader patterns of members selectively reinterpreting or relaxing observance of health-code requirements, particularly among younger Latter-day Saints. By framing the coffee prohibition as a Brigham Young addition rather than a revelation to Joseph Smith, members can drink coffee while maintaining belief in foundational doctrine.
