Do any of you drink tea or coffeee?
Myself, I used to drink tea quite often up until i was about fourteen. Since then I've drunk coffee. I like it. Maybe you drink coke instead, but sometimes it's too cold for coke. Does Dr. Pepper have caffeine in it? hmmmm. As soon as you take a big lap of that hot coffee you can feel your heart's beat begin to fasten, and your body stops as it's internal organs speed up. Do you like coffee or tea? Tell us about your first experience?
I used to dip my bickies in mother's coffee and eat them when I was a little one.
Tell me about your drinking of coffee and tea, or coke. Any other caffeinated drinks. |

I drink herbal tea. I don't have a favorite because there's so many kinds... and it just depends on what you're eating with it. A big piece of home-made carrot cake and some green tea... that's just got to be the best.

SpitFire, does skin go bad when you drink coffee? How does it go so? My skin doesn't have any side-effects from drinking it.
Jess, I also drink herbal tea. I have a cup of jasmine tea of a Wednesday night during the X-Files each week.
"Bickies" - yep yer right. It was a shortening of "biscuits", which is British -- or in my case Australian for "cookie".  |

Cecil,
For some reason, it's not the same with everyone. But coffee, as you might know, is not a pure liquid, rather it's floating particles in hot water. It spreads rapidly through your body and is eventually, partially, expelled through your pores. Some particles remain in your pores, and covering your skin, which results in a greasy skin and, ofcourse, pimples.
Tea doesn't have this, probably because it's substance is different (tea being leaves submerged in water, with only the smallest particles escaping). Right now im drinking "forest fruit" tea and i love it
Damn this sounded like a column in a cheesy housewive's magazine.

Dr. Pepper has LOTS of caffeine in it. And, who needs tea, coffee, or soda when you have beer?

its obvious, shizo drinks vodka =)
tho i cought him secretly drinking tea lots of times... and sometimes he even drinks bread hehe now back to me...
i drink lots of coke, well not lots... i'd say about 2 coke cans a day... maybe 1 if i'm lucky
i also drink alot of water instead of tea/coffee, i'm not crazy about tea, and i dont like the idea that coffee is bad for u, but water is always good =) found that if i always carry around a full bottle of water around me, i never drink anything else (too lazy to get up and make something) you gotta try it! very healthy, and lose weight too (more drink = less eat)... umm, also whenever i get juice, i bring a cap full and leave it at my computer desk, by the end of the day its empty heh (dont love juice much either tho)

I personally don't drink all that much caffeine, just tea and/or pepsi/coke every once in a while. But I do know a couple of ppl who are literally caffeine addicts; they suck down several cups of coffee, coke and various energy drinks (Red Bull, Dark Dog, Battery, God only knows what else) a day. One of them got a warning from his doctor to stop drinking caffeine. :/
And they don't even drink the stuff to keep awake or anything... Weird.

I use to drink a ton of pop, but then I went out for swimming and track... I had to stop drinking it cause it was leaveing a coat of flem on my throat and I had to spit all the time to get it ut of my mouth... That's somewhat ok in track, but in swimming the other swimmers don't like swimming through floating flem. |

About bad tasting beer...
If you have a bad tasting beer (american), try to mix it with orange juice and cola (Pepsi Max). It looks horrible but it's tasting deliciously!
Bourbon Whiskey? Four Roses Rulez... |

Tea, definitely.. although I'm SUPPOSED to drink coffee, living around Seattle and all.. though i've always been a nonconformist jk
I'd have to say I like Dew best of all.. no, wait.. Red Devil Energy Drinks are pretty neat. A friend of mine explained it quite nicely; you're body is lead, but your mind is going.. eventually head convinces body that it too is full of energy, so it has a nice effect in keeping you awake.. and keeping you jumping and laughing, and running around in circles.. yeah.
tho' i must admit i depend on Dew every morning. *grin* ... *twitch*

Try to mix your coffee with some caffeine powder.................
Not good enough?! then put some more in it and a few drups of pure (highly concentrated) liquid adrenalin...
WHAM!!!
It feels you can beat up God then...I assure you... |
