Juicy, I think by your own admission you were a HEAVY user.

Is this a permanent change? Or are you going to go back to your caffeinated ways?

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

just one cup a day. It's soooo hard to not have my usual noon coffee, 3 p.m. coffee.. and the occasional 6 p.m. cofee

but ... i .. will... survive..

yeah i have been hitting the gym to wake up! and then coffee. I'm actually okay in the morning and stuff... but... i am in such a fog right now.... i'm HURTIN for my 3 p.m. caffeine boost!

iwz iwz

you people and your coffee! eww

i don't like the stuff. i've had a few cups of coffee in my life, but every time i do, i long for hot chocolate.

i did used to drink a lot of soda (not really a lot, just 1-2 cans a day), and i drink mostly just water now. i never feel like i need caffeine anymore... i dunno

I am the exact same way maybe 3 cups in my life... one under duress (long story).

I am a much happier camper with water. Prolly why I get bugged for owning a superautomatic coffee maker. I am a coffee pusher.

Ok,ok gather round little ones... one day in the fall of 1999 I was visiting the Ukraine (branch construction), it was arranged that I take a tour of what they were using as the branch a six KH building. I was sent me with a really nice brother(not a word of English), as we entered the dining room for lunch a couple of German brothers spotted me and invited me to their room for coffee after the meal. I thought no problem I want the association and communication of other westerners, I thought I could just decline the coffee when I got there... didn't happen coffee in the cup waiting for me upon arrival. It was such a big deal for them to serve a 'good' cup of coffee in Ukraine. I drank.

So while it wasn't with a gun to my head, it was necessary.

haha, yeah, you def don't want to mess with the germans, am i right

I never drank it as much until I started working at my current job. Before that it was one cup per week. I think that means I'm getting old.
