Most of the time, yes, as most beers are pasteurized to kill the bacteria that breeds in warm environments. An exception would be beer that has been cold-filtered (as the name suggests, merely run through a sift-like filter). Coors Light is cold-filtered-so it's not a good idea to let it get warm. Perhaps this is why they always advertise it as the "coldest" beer?

Temperature swings in beer does in fact matter. You're agitating the brew inside and things will start growing. Keep the beer out of direct sunlight and you'll be okay for a couple of days. After that you can still drink it with little to no risk but the taste will be slightly effected. Best bet is to keep it out of sunlight at room temperature for no more than a week or so if storing is needed.

Yes it's fine. Temperature swings does not affect beer, only sunlight. That is why many bottles are dark in color, to cut down on the light that enters the bottle.
Wine, however, is not the same and temperature will affect it.

They say you shouldn't because it can effect the flavor. I do it all the time and I am a die hard beer drinker.

as a former bartender, if you buy it warm, keep it warm until ready to use. if its cold, keep it cold. it wont harm you, but the beer gets a differnt taste to it trying to re cool it. i dont know why,
