I never ever drink coffee.

I drink 3 cans of Coke a day, even though I know it's bad for me. Water is far better for thought processes than caffeine.

I am guessing anarchist to be around 12-14, so you must know that it's really not good to be getting into coffee that yearly. Heck, anyone under 18 doesn't even have enough stress or enough things to do in their life that effectivly requires coffee to keep them awake. Don't just drink it to be cool and tell all your friends how you're hooked on coffee.

You're almost 19? I am assuming than you have graduated highschool/or are already in uni/college?

Dunno where you're from, but where I live, no one would pass someone of your language skill.

(Please forgive me if you're in a non-english speaking country)

Anyway, still no excuse! Lay of the coffee unless your name is x1b!

spelling and grammer is alright
uselly

which are blatant errors in grammar and spelling, not typos. a and e are not next to each other on the keyboard, and uselly doen't have the same letter-count, never mind the correct vowels!

Seriously, the amount of respect you will get on forums is directly influenced by the content of your posts. It's worth taking the extra 20 seconds.

Because your written words are the only way for us to know you. As you type, we'll judge you. If Albert Einstein came back from the dead (God bless his soul) and started talking about his theory of relativity in l337 talk, we'd all tell him he was a moron and to stop disgracing the real Albert. Tra, you might be a bloody genius, but we'll judge you using the only way that you allow us to - your words.

Now, if you released the most brilliant game ever, we'd also judge you by that. You haven't, though, so we use what tools you present us. In addition to your words, you've demonstrated a general social ineptness. Just food for thought.

Coke sucks majorly. Diet Coke (coke a cola) is like infitite times better. But that's only good if there is no other caffeine induced beverage available.

About coffee, I drink coffee about once every 2-3 months, sometimes shorter periods of time, sometimes longer. Oh, and it can stunt your growth, look at Megaton, he's barely 5'5, har har har.
But then again, I do drink Tea constantly.

I drink coffee from time to time. Tend to do it prior to a drama performances and stage stuff, as I find it very good for the nerves (the caffeine there I assume)

I very rarely drink it otherwise (about 5 drinks of coffee a year, tops) because it sometimes has a tendancy to give me a migraine occasionally

I gave up drinking coffee a couple of years ago. Most people give up coffee because they think it's unhealthy - me? I gave it up because I couldn't be bothered making coffees for the rest of the team at work. I now enjoy diplomatic immunity when it comes to making coffee because I don't drink any mwuahahhaha ... Seems fair to me ...

Also, some offices get *horrendously* warm in the summer. In this hummingbird's lung-sized office, there are 6 people, 12 CRTs and about 9 machines running. They generate a lot of heat, and I don't like getting to warm. You wouldn't like me when I'm warm

I'm a decaf man. I have about 2-3 decafs a day and usually a can of coke. Decaf is about 1/3 the caf of normal coffee, as is coke, so I guess I have 1 coffee/day and 1 coke. Having said that, I have it stronger than butter bean, so I might be offsetting that.

As for sugar attack - never had a filling in my life! As for gutt rott ... *grumble belly* yeah, I might be suffering from that.

During the week I generally drink a 2 litre bottle of Tesco's Mountain Spring Water. I prefer that to Sainsbury's own brand water, as that is a bit too soft (I prefer hard water).

Drinking a hot/warm drink has the effect of cooling you down surprisingly. Drink a cold drink, and your body assumes your cold, and warms you up. Drink a hot drink, and your body assumes your hot, and cools you down

I hate people who tell me that. It's such crap. Flip it around - if you're freezing cold, then you don't grab a coke and some ice out of the fridge do you?

I know what you're saying about relative temperature though - when you come in to a warm room if it's been freezing outside, you feel amazingly warm and that's probably because your body has been gearing you up for a cold winter.

Seriously though, I am permanently warm - it's probably glandular. Or more perhaps to do with my gut. But I'm going with glandular. If you're too warm, there's very little you can do about it. If you're too cold, turn up the heating, put on a jumper, curl up in bed, etc

I'm probably the worst one here. Every day I thank my lucky stars that the coffee at work is free

2-3 large mugs of coffee before lunch, then about 3 more before the end of the work day. Then at home my wife and I go through a pot of coffee. On the weekends I can, alone, go through two pots a day.

And the caffeine does nothing for me. I've been drinking coffee regularly, every day since I was 15. It actually helps me sleep (go figure). I drink it for the taste--- straight up and black, always have.

Quite often I'll treat myself to a large Americano (espresso & water) or a Blaster (espresso & coffee).

When I was in England I found it funny that whenever I ordered a coffee, the cup would be small and it would be strong as hell. I see that Europeans enjoy real coffee as much as I do

I've drunk coffee ever since I was about 5 or 6. As a fairly sterotypical English/Irish family most of my realtives drink (a lot) of tea - but I've always hated the taste. Anyway, my Auntie used to let me try some of her coffee (as she hates tea as well) and I've liked it ever since.

That'd be one every 40 minutes! (Approx).

I don't drink coffee, tea, booze (it's expensive juice for all the effect it has on me) or fizzy juice, and I don't smoke.

But, I'm not going to be a monk (or rather, a nun) any time soon.




Couldn't handle the early mornings, of course.

I used to drink moderate amounts of coffee, maybe 2 or 3 cups a day. Then a few weeks ago I seemed to go onto making a new cup as soon as I'd finished one, but that was probably more out of boredom than anything else.

Then I seemed to go off it (bear in mind this was instant coffee, I enjoy the proper stuff but can't be cheesed making it) and for the last two weeks I've been sticking to tea.

I enjoy an espresso at the end of a meal whenever I eat at a restaurant, and enjoy a good cup of coffee whenever, but at the moment I'm more of a Mr. Tea.

I like coffee and I drink it every now and then. I'd drink it every day if they stuff they made at work didn't taste like tar. It isn't too strong or anything, it just doesn't taste like coffee.
When I go to a client that has a coffee machine, I always pass by it to get an espresso with no sugar. Mmm...

I'm not your average minor.

I drink a cup of coffee every weekday morning, and sometimes on the weekends my folks will be out early and come home when I wake up with Starbucks. We also get Starbucks when we go to the airport (always book flights early in the morning, less chaos). Mmmm cafe mocha. My parents do something weird to our coffee. They combine the Starbucks decaf and some Italian thingy blend. Most of the wake up from coffee comes from the strong flavor and the heat rather than the caffeine, so who needs a full dose?

CLEARLY you've never googled the effects of Aspartame (the artificial sweetener they use in pretty much all diet drinks). Give me dugar over Aspartame any day!

I treat that stuff like salt. Some people get the crazy idea that it's okay to consume mass quantities. I'm even leery of Splenda. It's made with a chlorinated sugar molecule. It tastes good, but it's still got the chlorine in it. Sugar isn't healthy, but it's better than chemicals.

Yay, me and my family are not alone in this dark un-believing world!

I hate most coffee. Vanilla Cappuccino is pretty good though... specially with donuts and other sweet pastries, but really I prefer colas or La Croix water (carbonated bland flavored goodness)

I went to Starbucks for the first time last week and I got a Frappucino which was excellent, though that doesn't really count as coffee sorta stuff does it?
