43. Is there any other kind?

:rofl: I swear I'm not an addict....all the time. ;) :donut:

The worse drink order I ever had to make was at the Borders cafe (when I was just a barista...). It was in the morning, and this lady ordered a decaf coffee, half coffee, 1/4 hot water, and room for cream.... :puke:

I'm sure she had her reasons, but still... :scared:

11. No coffee... but a couple of 20oz Cokes does the trick...

I go to work at some undogly hours, so i have to have caffeine and sugar in the mornings to get the motor running.

Never did get a taste for coffee, though.

14. I had a huge iced coffee on the way to work this AM

followed by a large Starbucks.

Now, I'm jumping through my skin.

BTW...can I offer a hand in peace from that "other" thread in GD? Apologies if anything I said offended you.

16. When I wake up, I pop a caffeine pill.

That has me alert and awake in about 10 minutes. It's much faster than waiting for coffee to brew.

27. I drank 10 + several glasses of iced tea in a day once...

Never.

Again.

Alcohol is not the only beverage that will make you :puke:

I am now down to 3 cups and my daily iced tea ration (transplanted Southerner here). Proud of myself!

39. I don't drink coffee.

Never did. Though during my travelling years, I drank a couple cups out of politeness when it was handed to me. I would quickly toss it down my gullet. In the mornings. I have a glass of orange juice. Then before pedalling to work, I'll swill another glass of cold water.

40. I gave up coffee

because it was bothering my stomach. I drink tea now, and usually have a couple of cups in the morning; but I don't really need it to wake up.

Sometimes when I'm really dragging, or after I've had a heavy meal, I'll have some coffee and it helps. But I'm glad I'm not addicted to it anymore.

41. Two steaming cups will usually do the trick; however...

...I can cut it down to one if it is poured directly onto my lap...
