I once read online that drinks like red bull & jolt both have a lot more caffeine in them than any kind of caffinated tea does. So if mormons stay away from coffee & tea due to the caffeine intake, then do they stay away from drinks like red bull & jolt?

The Word of Wisdom is limited to coffee and tea, and not specifically because of caffeine. There are other harmful ingredients such as tanic acid that are just as bad. Many do not drink cola or energy drinks. This is a matter of personal choice and common sense.

The actual doctrine is against "Hot Drinks" which has later been interpreted as coffee and tea. We dont drink them because we believe that God has commanded us not to drink them; the "why" is not as important to us because the source is sufficient for most faithful LDS. Abstaining from anything else that is bad for the body (soda and energy drinks) is just good sense - but not doctine.

Caffeine is caffeine so they avoid those as well.

They are suppose to stay away from caffiene and unhealthy foods. But the mormon church owns stock in Coke, go figure
