I'm a Tea Guy but I also dig Coffee from time to time.

I did, my bad. Although I didn't add it. BUT! I did add Soda, because I somehow forgot that. Shows how much of a caffeine junkie I am I suppose, I file soda under "tastes good" and not "is enough caffeine for a reasonable person". That is a potent brew. Wouldn't the coffee be kind of thick with that much in grounds and that little in water? When I make coffee, I made 6 cups of water, and an amount of grounds equal to the amount of beans that could fit in my coffee grinder, however much that is.

It's a coffee replacement! Tried it once, never going back.

Haven't seen anything like that before, looks pretty nifty. Is it a powdered drink mix then?

I would never replace coffee with anything, but I like the container.

I used to chug up to two cans of monster a day plus 5 hour energy when I was working 2 jobs. I started getting heart skips and had to get my heart checked recently because of chest pains. Everything is ok! But I'm down to maybe 2 cups of coffee a day now.

I make it kind of weak. I really like Cafe Bustelo but it makes me shake pretty bad if I make it too strong. I do that with a splash of vanilla oat milk creamer.

Sounds exquisite and really nice.

Just like ol black Coffee

60mg adderaLL doesn't really need to be supplemented by caffeine under optimal or even half-ass circumstances. I used to use ridiculous amounts of caffeine at times (or if gettin bombed 4Lokos' could really add up) but I've mostly abandoned caffeine cuz it irritates my dystonia n those muscle contractions are close to the absolute epitome of agony so no way. I'm sure my MS n TD are aggravated by caffeine also, so... *sigh* w/e. coffee, soda, tea - my fragile digestive system don't agree with those anymore... if I only got 2-4 hrs of sleep n I'm not in manic cycle I'll use a caffeine pill or half of one to keep the 2nd half of meh day from becoming a nod-off binge whilst rockin the headphones.

also, goin without caffeine for weeks at a time makes the potency reconnect with why caffeine was meh road dawg for so many years along with mr. alkie. leavin both caffeine n alcohol behind makes things a sorrowful tale but new chapters in life can be exciting, too. adderaLL, percocets, valium, n pregabalin just match up better with not bein problematic irritants to my supa-PhuN afflictions (yea 4 controlled substances but meh symptoms are dire n severe to say the least... tbh I'm tired of pills at this point but it's either medz or deadz lol for lack of a sans-goofy lil joke to make)

Yeah, just pour over two teaspoons and stir. ^^ The dandelion root carries most of the flavour, cocoa balances it out, basically.

 

[bjork]

Currently soda, but I'm gonna try and quit when I move in the very near future. Both for health and money reasons.

 

[mollieifusco]

Tea's my fashion, coffee's my forte.
Hard rocking like I used to with caffeine's not possible these days. Soda was my choice back then. Still my guilty pleasure, though I can't drink it willy-nilly like I used to with this pile of viscera for guts.

Here's the platitude you've been waiting to groan at: don't forget to drink some water!

 

[RageBurner]

Here's the platitude you've been waiting to groan at: don't forget to drink some water!

A very important platitude. It takes real effort for me to drink water. For me it's the biological equivalent of changing motor oil: just like a car can't derive joy from this, neither can I from drinking water.

After a night of heavy drinking ice cold water tastes like a gift from the gods.

 

[DietPepsi]

I'm a big fan of energy drinks, but I'll always take coffee whenever it's available. However I gotta be careful bc it'll give me panic attacks if I have too much or drink it on an empty stomach.

 

[Boo Man]

im a coffee fiend
cant do energy drinks though im not that hardcore
this is my poison

No foul there, man. That sense of "regularity" it has hurts it in the same for a lot of people.
For that, it's a matter of shifting the prerogative: necessity to endearment. Fashioning up a water purification system (even a simple one!) shoulders loads for this, especially for locales with bad taps. It's an annoying accompaniment to this preach and praxis, I know. But - if you'll bear for the obvious anecdote - you never know what you're missing out on if tap's all you're used to. Flavor adjustments through mix-in packets or even naturalist spritz of flavor (lemon or lime juice) helps it gel to one's life and taste too. Helps plenty if sugar's the main palette for your fluid intake.

Though, best way even beyond all of this: practice and promises. Once you've got water tasting good for you, consider it a "side-drink" that you prepare in tandem with the usual. Set it up at the desk and drink from it when it crosses your mind. If it doesn't: there's incentive for next time. Don't hold it against yourself or make grandiose shifts of lifestyle to accommodate. Making it a pain in the ass for yourself doesn't merit the best promise! Eventually, the same idea of "drinking water to placate the body" will come more and more to the forefront of your mind. Even better: it'll come with a new-found appreciation for what felt a process.

Again, though: no holding it against yourself, alright? Contextualizing it subconsciously as an effort that you're abstaining from to your 'detriment' is no way to take it upon yourself. Trust me when I say I understand: it was a bitch and a half to get myself to drink as much water as I do! But it came easier with these processes. Mostly: preparing a drink of water alongside your main drink. Preach to this one; you never learn to appreciate water more than when you're thirsty but too lazy to prepare your usual, seriously!

Your insight has truly been illuminating. If you thought this deeply about water, I'm looking forward to our next exchanges.

I put down diet sodas like a fiend. Yummy aspartame!

You flatter me too much! Never had a deal; I just always keep it real.

None. I only drink tea because I like tea taste. If that sounds sacrilegious to drink because of taste, then I don’t wanna be right! Or left, that’s Gorse’s thing.

Thanks for including the soda poll choice since I clicked on Other hours ago as that wasn't a choice then.
