I'm a coffee drinker, been one since I was 12, I like a good cup of tea with lemon once in awhile, and on the odd cold morning I've been known to revert back to my Grandma's old remedy :D , a shot of brandy,(when we were kids the whole neighborhood would showup and Grandma would line the shots of brandy up on the counter like kids waitin' to get on a bus :D ) it's amazing what the old country people belived in and it's amazing she never got arrested for serving alcohol to 14 and 15 year olds at 6:30 in the morning. :eek: :D
 
I drink way too much coffee. On workdays, we make half a pot and have a cup before leaving. Then I buy another at QT after dropping the wife off. Then I have my bagel after I hit the street, with more.
10 o'clock coffee break....Midafternoon coffee break, then we make another pot after dinner at home.
 
Coffee for me, I have to regulate it however. I used to drink loads but if I drink too much I feel ill, I probably have 4 - 6 mugs a day now

Went through a stage of drinking tea but for some reason it gives me major acid reflux.
 
I'm not human anymore until I've had a cup of coffee in the morning (or whatever passes for morning on the shift I'm working at the moment). That's what I get for two years of constant changes between day, night and swing shifts with the Army. :barf: I limit myself to no more than three cups a day, since I'm still fairly sensitive to caffeine and would like to keep it that way.
 
Monster energy drink. Plus a gallon or so of Mt. Dew throughout the day.
 
Coffee. 'Quality' doesn't matter, as long as it's COFFEE. :)

I try to keep my intake to about 6 cups a day. There's a waitress at our local diner that drinks about 20 cups a day. :(
 
I love coffee but I know I drink too much. When I get up it's a nice cup of coffee and my pipe full of Prince Albert.

I like to start my day with a nice can of Pibb Xtra. I can't stand coffee, but I do like my caffeine.
 
Any day that I wake up to see is a good day. About all I drink is plain old H2O, so I guess that would be my "eye-opener".
 
I take a quart thermos of expresso to work everyday.

I roast my own beans twice a week and don't drink stale coffee.

The trash they call coffee at work is so weak I can't even taste it.
 
For me it's Mountain Dew.

I drink 1 20oz. bottle of it at my desk from about 9am to 10am.

Sometimes I drink coffee but not that often. I just don't like the bad taste it leaves in my mouth. I also notice that coffee drinkers usually have really bad breath. No thanks :D
 
I drink 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning. Ocasionally one in the afternoon/evening, but rarely. Coffee is pretty addicting and once you get past a few cups if you aren't drinking organic it will count against you in the long run. If I had a good espresso machine I would go that route. Last time I was in Rome a couple years ago I was drinking about 6 espressos or ristrettos a day, which is TOP NOTCH for your health! :p

T. Erdelyi, you'd possibly like a corretto. I've never seen them outside of Italy, but that's an espresso "corrected" with a little brandy or some other liquer. Top o' the mornin'! :D

So do you never drink stuff with Caffiene? I'm just curious, because I would really like to just quit drinking pop all together and get off of caffiene all together really.

Thanks,

One cup of coffee in the morning. Another usually around 1 in the afternoon. More than that and I become desensitized to the caffeine.
 
Nothing like a hot cup of

I have gout (as well as high BP), so I have to watch what I eat & drink, and I figure that only drinking water is a pretty safe bet. No, I don't drink coffee, tea, beer, wine, booze, or "pop".
