    Well, actually, yes I do! But only if I have a cup or two before I go to bed! :coffee::coffee:

    Now I won't tell y'all that I vibrate so much, I don't have to start my chainsaws in order to fell, limb, and buck the trees. :eek: (But I do! :D)

    I can always tell when my caffeine level is low because I have a bad case of drag azz. But a cup or two gets me back up and running. :coffee::hair::saw::saw::tree::dancer:

    I do the opposite. I fill a Pepsi or Coke bottle with cold coffee so everyone thinks I'm drinking a soda of some sort. Plus it's really convenient that way! :hair: Now if I could only get a decent IV, I could pump it directly in. :bug:

    Right where I want to be.
    I started drinking decaf a few weeks ago, but the headaches bugged me too much, so I kicked it back to 1/2 caf.
    Been doing that since, and I'm gooder.
    3-4 cups daily (my cups, not the decanter cups.........those are wimpy).
    So, to answer the question......no. I like it too much, and it's my only vice nowadays (aside from FHC :D).

    Star Gazer, same way, I swear my mom family we went from bottle to a coffee cup. when little had a coffee milk product. then at 8 in was a coffee with adults.. since I am the shortest male cousin at 6 foot plus and 215 lbs it didn't stunt my growth.. I drink a pot a day myself first one I drink most of but do let wife have a cup or two second pots mine.

    Wife told me I have to drink more water so I drink 48 ones of that too..

    I probably drink too much coffee. Don't know if I could get through a day without it-haven't tried!

    No, I actually hate coffee. I had to drink it when I lived in Germany. There was no other choice beyond water in the AM. That water wasn't good tasting water either.

    I can't stand the smell, or taste of coffee. I don't like foods cookedwith it either.

    Barf-o.

    You guys enjoy your dirt. :p

    Convinced yet Eric?

    I can take it or leave it. I enjoy it but I don't need or crave it. Some days I'll drink almost a pot and the next day or two not even think about it. Comes down to convenience. If it's there I'll drink it, if it's not there....no biggie.

    One thing I do know is that every person that I've worked with that drank coffee all day always have/had the worst breath ever.

    The worst was my old boss that smelled like a liquor cabinet, and coffee at the same time. I think he drank coffee all day to cover up his drinking addiction. However a co-worker said she only has ever smelled that smell on drug abusers, crack or meth iirc. I had to take her word on that. All I know is that he was fired. Lol, he deserved it.

    I really enjoy my coffee. Sometimes I get on a decaf kick when my gut acts up, but then I usually limit it to two cups daily. Coffee and reading the news is a morning thing for me. I very much enjoy that time of the day. I don't go to work and this fills in a nice time for me. I don't like the sharpness of Starbucks. I prefer the flavor of the McCafe or Dunkin Doughnuts. Currently using a K cup machine with good results.
