Because if you can take a product explicitly labeled "hot coffee", put it between your legs and of course you get burned but still sue... Then of course you can drink caffeine until you die and still sue the restaurant.
If liability can't be waived with clear textual or verbal warnings in English affirmed by customer, sure I'd agree. But "hot" isn't a reasonably unambiguous qualifier for scalding coffee served at a nationwide chain drive through.

Reasonable people don't think that the word "hot" might be dangerous?
I highly doubt that's the case. My one year old knows what hot means.
