Hi there.

How much coffee do you people drink? Even at work I tend to drink tons of the stuff. At home I also drink tons of tea as well.

The reason I ask is that people say you shouldn't drink too much of the stuff(coffee) but hey, it just tastes soooo good.

Dont get me started...

I used to drink 2 cans (the cans in which you make the coffee) a day, but now i've cut back to 2 to 4 cups a day.

jolt cola.

"the official soft drink of the elite hacker."

as much caffeine as coffee, and tastes a hell of a lot better.

comes in flavors of wild berry, orange soda, and normal soda.

that drink owns

I don't drink coffee anymore! And I hate soda! I used to drink about a can myself in a day or so, but it was coffee or cigerettes! And I wasn't ready to let cigs alone yet! I drinks tons of tea though, puts me to sleep like a drunk ass bum!! heheheh!

I don't think we get these in Britain.

BTW - yes, we do have television.

sometimes 2, other times 4

I like french vanilla a lot!

jolt is an overhyped logo for the "outcasts"
although the new flavors are allright

-->ginseng tea/herbal tea flavored is quite good for the mind but the price is a bit steep.

mmmm... caffeinated bean water.

outcasts? i guess you're an outcast if you use the computer for an intellectual purpose, rather than a visual purpose. basically, you're cool cause you draw, but others aren't, mantis? ok.

people still drink coffee?

pfft.. i don't get the jolt hype. never did, never will. i don't like coffee unless its iced/

i drink a lot of water at work, the occasional Sobe (green tea) or Mountain Dew. Whoop Ass or Red Devil if i want to energize and get slightly messed up

non-natural stuff has too many calories for sitting at a desk most of the time. i'm a girl, so i'm supposed to worry about those things.

I've got a dangerously big "pink and the brain" mug, that holds about 3/4 of a pot of coffee, and I usually go through a few of them a day.

my doctor told me more than 8 cups a day was bordering on clinical addiction though....

faustgfx · Posted: Wed Jul 12, 2000 5:54 pm

used to do roughly 15-20 coffee cups / day. with 6-8 pieces of sugar and cream.

now i've pretty much ditched coffee and moved on to tea and a dozen or so red bull cans a day.

I only drink coffee when I'm in Hasting's[media/book store]. Free coffee. I'm usually on cup 5 or 6 when I get done reading a book or whatever the hell i'm looking at.

so i'm a cheap bastard? they don't complain...they have nice chairs to sit in too.

I used to drink lots of coffee, found out
that I can be real productive when my hands
are shaking from the buzz. GOt bored of
the taste though, so now I sip 18 year old
scotch from a baby bottle while taking
concentrated caffeine through an IV and a
drip bag. I find it makes for a great body
buzz. I think I need to start taking the
scotch intraveinously too, though. For some
reason clients don't seem too thrilled about
the whole whiskey on the breath thing...

go figure.

8 cups a day borders on clinical addiction??!!

Lordy, I think I'm doomed...

Ugh, I don't understand how anybody can like coffee. It tastes like shit.

ceenda · member Member # Joined: 27 Jun 2000 Posts: 2030

Whooah... glad I don't work as a PR man for Nescafe'...

I think I'll follow up some of the suggestions here.

This Italian Ice stuff sounds quite tasty...

...does it taste like coffee?

I don't drink coffee, but I have around 2-4 mountain dews on the weekend and I have 1-2 caffine pills a day somestimes bi-daily, depends on how much sleep I got the night before.
