[RESOLVED] Soda, or Cofee

[LORE]

We all, or most of us, have our morning aflictions, what do you drink when you wake up, or go to work???


I myself live on diet mountain dew. I used to drink 7 or 8 cans a day of regular mountain dew, but when i looked at the calories, i learned to live on diet mountain dew. If i am broke, or to lazy to go to store and get some, I will lower myself to the free coffe in the office though, but I only drink coffee for the cafeine!

[theBeast]

I drink roughly 8-10 cups of coffee a day. I have pop (soda to the sub 49th parallelers) on the rare occassion, but not that often really.

Coffee! Just coffee.
I drink soda only when having lunch.

Must be nice to get free coffee. We have to PAY. Soda unless it is colder than about 55 out. (I'm from Florida lay off me, I have thin skin. LOL)

I drink neither on a cold morning, we have some kind of deal with a catering company, so we are supplied with tea bags ( a wide assortment from old english to green), hot chocolate and coffee. All free. I'll drink hot chocolate on cold mornings. http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum/smile.gif

about 1 pot of coffee and 2.5-3 packs of cigarettes per day....

I've got my case of jolt cola I will drink once in a while. I also may have tea or hot apple cider in the morning, the tea seems to give me lots of energy. Other then that I drink tons of water though out the day.

I wake up with about two pots of coffee, and 4 energy (No Doze, etc..)pills. Then I hit the free coffee at work till about 10am, followed closely by sodas all day long, and yet I really never wake up till I get home now that I think of it. http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum/biggrin.gif

I used to smoke about 3/4-1 pack a day for the past 10 years. I quit a year and a half ago, and haven't looked back since (well, ok, I've had about 3 cigarettes in the past year).
I quit using Zyban. It wasn't an easy trip, but it was worth it.
I promissed myself that I wouldn't be an anti-smoker when I quit, so I won't say, "You should quit!"
I will say, if you feel you have more bad cigarettes in a day than good ones, then maybe you should check out Zyban.
In a nutshell, it's an anti-depressant, and not a nicotene suppliment like the patch or the gum is. So, when you quit, you are completely depriving your body of nicotene, and not just teasing it with suppliments. You're quitting cold turkey, but Zyban is helping take the edge off. You tend to forget that you need a cigarette.
The physical strain from quitting is still there...the sweats, the shakes. But the crankiness is gone.

Three cups of coffee in the morning is my max...anything more and I get the shakes. I usually have iced tea at lunch. No sodas at all unless I'm onsite and the customer offers me one...just too sweet for me.
Also, I quit smoking cigarettes 22 years ago and haven't missed them at all! Will you still be smoking 22 years from now...if you're still alive?!?

Amen and Alleluia to that brother!!! Zyban and 12 weeks and ANYONE who is ready can quit smoking. You just have to be ready and willing to quit. I used to smoke 2.5 – 3 packs a day and if I can quit anyone can.

I drink about 5 cups of coffee a day. A glass of milk with the kids at supper and a diet something before I go to bed.

Strewth! It's two weeks into summer here and I don't drink as much as you lot. At the moment I drink about a litre (ok so maybe I do drink as much) of iced coffee a day, and I have the feeling it's gonna jump up to about 2 litres by the time christmas comes around.

Hah, put an expresso machine in the tech room. Can anyone say quad expresso? 3-4 of those and anyone can unscrew a case in 10 seconds with one hand.

btw, one expresso is equal to two cups of coffee, caffiene wise, or so I've heard.

I usually start my day w/ 1 cup of green tea and a bottle of water gets me through till 10 a.m. when I make my mad dash out of the building to get real coffe (Cafe Mocha w/ 2 shots of espresso). The office does supply something that claims to be coffee but w/out 2 packets of hot coco mix; it's undrinkable. Then I may/may not have another cup of green tea and more water for the rest of the day.

You did what? I'm sorry but that's not supported.

Community Coffee, ah, to live in Leesville once again!

My poison is Coffee. I don't drink soda, and I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke, so my one vice, and the one thing I spoil myself on, is coffee. I belong to the Gevalia coffee club, and I drink only darker roast coffees like Kona, Kenya, Stockholm roast (very rich and not bitter at all), Ethiopian. My favorite is Jamaican Blue Mountain, but at $26/8 oz. bag, it's a luxury I afford myself only once in a Jamaican Blue Moon (-:

Sorry guys, I can't use caffenine to wake up. I'm ADHD (attention defiect hyper-activity disorder). Anything (and I mean anything) with caffenine makes me sleepy. So anything sugary (try mixing sugar packets in cool water,a la MIB) will do the trick, though. Nothing is more frightening than someone with ADHD on a sugar rush, just ask my fiancee http://forums.windrivers.com/cgi-bin/forum/smile.gif

I have a cup of watered down coffee with plenty of condiments (sugar, whitener) in the morning. I don't like strong coffee. If I'm tired in the afternoon, I'll have another one. I limit myself to two cups per day - only have three if I'm really tired. If I'm busy at work, I can go all day without coffee.

If I'm not drinking coffee, I drink water.

I don't drink soda too much. Actually I call it pop like we do here in Canada, not soda. I don't like it because it is fizzy - kind of bugs me. Sometime I'll drink root beer. But only maybe once a month or less often.

Hey man why not just snort it while your at it. Shoot's straight to your brain. What a rush man. Hee Hee
I have my 40oz's of coffee in the morning and usually a 2 liter bottle of Diet Coke every day. If I'm out somewhere usually more. I found it was alot easier to quit drinking than giving up the cig's though. I quit smoking for a year and went back. One day i'll stop. I'll probably be dead but at least I stopped .......Cough cough...ehhhhh..ohhhh..uuuhhhhhh._________________ ______________________________^_______^__^_____^__ ___^____^_____^Whew that was a close one.
