    I sure couldn't today. I realized I was out of coffee this morning when I got up. I figgerd "heck i don't need no stinkin coffee today" so i went about my day. The mrs went to the grocery store about mid morning and I knew she got some but i still thought i didn't need it. All day I've felt kind of blehhh and a little bit ago i just felt like a total bump on a log so i caved and made a pot. Got some runnin through my veins right now and I feel great! This is probably the first day in years that I haven't had at least a cup by 8am and boy was it noticeable.

    I quit a year or so ago. The addiction is slowly coming back. I drink it on days when I'm feeling run down or I have a lot of work to do.

    I consume one gallon of coffee daily. That's two 12 cup decanters! I like it black and strong, the stronger the better with full caffeine. (none of that caffeine free stuff for me) There is no way I could go an entire day without. It keeps my motor running.:coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:

    Yes, never was fond of the taste of coffee. Can't even eat coffee ice cream.
    My mother, when I was younger, would fill her coffee mug with Diet Coke and drink it with her friends so she 'fit in'

    I've never been a heavy drinker of coffee but used to like it in the mornings. However, several years ago I suddenly had a problem and could not pee. Bad.... They gave me something to help and coffee was one of the things I had to stop. No caffiene. Thought it would be difficult but it was not. It's been over 10 years since I've had coffee although I can have caffeine now. I tried drinking some coffee a couple years ago and it tasted awful.

    I could not go a day, well I'd rather not. I have a camp perk, used to work on our old woodstoves, but not our new insert, and keep tabs on WWW's bunson burner he packs into the high country incase there's a coffee emergency.

    As summer draws closer, I will cut back on the coffee a bit.

    Yeah, I can make it through a day without it. Today, I only had one cup compared to my usual 3-4.

    Holy cow Star Gazer. A gallon a day? I'd be dead for sure with that much caffeine.

    I actually switched to half-caff a few years ago because of bp issues and heart palpitations after a few too many cups. But i still need it on a daily basis. This afternoon i was a brand new man! :coffee: :hair::axe::tree::saw::seasoned::rootintootin:

    In no particular order haha.
