I do :(
No
Jesus yes. In the form of soda rather than coffee. But yes absolutely.
Coffee and too much caffeine make me sleepy, nauseated, jittery, and I break out in cold sweats.
Unsweetened Iced Tea is my favorite pick-me-up though. Or a large iced green tea from Starbucks. Yum!!
Yes and it's no sad thing for me. Coffee is one of my greatest pleasures omg I dream of morning so I can have that glorious first cup mmmmmm. Even the smell of coffee just makes me so happy.
I don't drink coffee. I have frequently cut caffeine rich fizzy drinks from my diet with no ill effects. Who needs it!
Yes. I feel it if I do not.
Gross. :barf:
I should clarify that I don't like coffee. I get my caffeine from other sources. :shobon:
I get mine from chocolate and hot chocolate but I don't really need it as like a daily thing or anything. If anything its more of a night time treat
Not anymore. I used to drink caffeine before work until I decided it was making me too jittery. I stopped without any real problem.
Nope. I don't like coffee/tea and gave up pop cold turkey, so I don't need caffeine from either substance.
I don't know if I need it for the caffeine, but I drink coffee in the morning to put something in my stomach in between oranges. I don't like having water when I'm eating because it washes all the tastes away. :C
I don't require it. But I do have a bit of an addiction to it. I crave it constantly. But I have been trying to go 'clean' so to speak. I haven't had energy drinks or soda in the past week. Well, I've caught myself ordering soda a couple times, but I don't drink it on the reg.
I need it to pretend I like people
Nah, I can function without it. Just like you could drive a car without oil in its engine.
Yeah, this, essentially. It's nice that the caffeine wakes me up in the morning, but the true pleasure lies in sipping and enjoying a cup of strong black coffee and screwing around on the internet for half an hour before I have to go get buttsmurfed by the day. Not really a necessity, but a ritual that I've come to love nonetheless.Quote:

I voted yes, but there's more to coffee for me than the caffeine. I stopped drinking pop to no ill effect, but I'll never give up my coffee. It's not just a morning thing, though. I'll drink it from sunup to sundown, straight through the night, in my sleep, whatever.
I used to love it spiked, too, but a while back I went a few days without sleeping and then drank two pots of coffee/whiskey in about two hours and got sick as a dog.
*reads this thread and needs coffee all of a sudden*
I've drunk hundreds upon hundreds of cups of coffee in my time but have never felt anything tangible from the caffeine. Maybe I'm drinking it wrong.
Yeah, but I don't see any reason to :( about it.
I was on a good caffeine-free streak through most of last year, but then I ended up working third shift for a while and got hooked on the stuff again :(
weird, i don't know why that would happen.Quote:

Still, I try not to drink more than 2 cups a day, and maybe a soda if it's available.
I make myself a pot of coffee every morning and it makes me an all-around better person for the rest of the day :)
I don't drink much of anything else besides water and tea on occasion. I have pop only very sparingly. There are so many empty calories in pop!
i make some pot and coffee in the morning too
I don't require it but, I do like a cup of coffee.
Nah. I drink a cup at work sometimes but it is not something I find myself needing to do on a daily basis.
I can function without it for about a day and then I get a terrible migraine :(
Not really. I only drink coffee when I feel like it and when I'm craving that coffee taste. I have gastritis so as much as possible I refrain from drinking caffeine. There are low acid coffee available but they still make my stomach ache when drank early in the morning.
Not anymore. I was drinking entirely too much soda and when I decided I wanted to improve my quality of life and get in shape, I quit cold turkey.
For a few days afterwards I would walk past it in the store like

Because chemically speaking, Tea has as much caffeine in it per cup as coffee (mostly because of equivalent strengths and measures and what-not) I'm going to have to say yes. However, a cup of coffee or a cup of tea in the morning is not nearly as important as the daily ritual I perform on waking up. You know, the hour or more of preening myself to ensure that when I walk out the door in the morning I look glorious.
Seriously, average morning for me looks like this:
- Wake up at 5:15am - straight in to the shower
- .5:30am (I like long showers) get dry, put underpants on
- Drink 125ml of Protein shake
- Get ironing board and iron begin ironing
- 5:45 - 6:00am (depends on how tough the suit was to iron today) get in bathroom, begin tidying up the facial hair with razors, tweezers, scissors whatever it takes
- Moisturize face and neck, also elbows (I get super dry skin on my elbows)
- Style hair
- 6:30am - Get dressed (if my housemates are moviing around I may have already put my trousers on)
- 6:35am - Grab a pack of porridge to take to work and if time have a cup of coffee/tea
- 6:45am - Brush Teeth
- 7:00am - Head to work
Note, this is if I'm starting at 7:45am, on weeks where I start at 7am I shave 10 minutes off the shower and skip coffee/tea. I also find a way of not spending quite as much time grooming as I normally do so that I can wake up around the same time but spend only an hour getting ready (leaving for work at 6:15am latest) not 105 mins!
I am fully aware how vain that above ritual of getting ready every morning makes me. I'm also very much aware that most girls are quicker.
This pretty much sums me up.Quote:

There's like 3 times as much caffeine in coffee when it's ready to be served as a liquid in a cup. Of course, it'll vary with the kind of coffee and tea you use(espresso has like twice as much as "standard" coffee), but it's nowhere near the same amount in each type of drink.Quote:
