    Foamy rocks, I always like the ones with that kid who's tripping out on way to much prescription medication.

I dont live life so all i do is work and sleep and nothing else. I would rather be dead. So i make sacrifices and am able to get by with doing my own thing with the goodness of caffeine
    ya your slower then a sh!t in the morning if you don't get your coffee and a Krispy kream.

    Personally I started drinking coffee in University, now I love it some much some that I bought an espresso machine to supplement my addiction!

    For me it's part of a routine. I get to work and get a coffee, Have done that for 2 years.

    It's like smoking, albeit not as addictive but once you work it into your routine it's nearly impossible to work it out.

    Ive tried switching to Tea and cutting that down to one cup a day but I dont know if that helps.

    Nothing like the taste of a fresh double double though

    I've actually heard the oposite of that. Caffeine can actually improve your performance in intellectual tasks and physical endurance tasks. There is an increase in lipolysis (fat burning) and an overall increase in resting metabolic rate.

    There is always bad to go with the good though. Caffeine will blunt your absorption of calcium, which is needed for bone growth and maintenance. Caffeine is also not a replacement for real rest, so the tiredness will catch up with you.

    I'll admit to enjoying a nice cup of coffee nearly every day. It's not just the taste that I like, but it motivates me to get stuff done. And, like others have mentioned it gets me away from my desk for a few minutes. Around the office people are more receptive of "going for a coffee" than "going to walk around".

    Each cup of coffee excretes 75mg of calcium out of your body. So for those of you drinking 2-3 cups per day you are losing 150-225mg of calcium per day.

    Best thing to do is take a calcium supplement. I'd recommend a calcium citrate since it is better absorbed than the other types of calcium.

    I actually take a new calcium citrate called Osteocit. I like it because it disperses easily in liquid, so I just drop a tablet in my protein shake. By the time I finish the shake the Osteocit has already dispersed into the liquid and don't even realize that I'm taking a tablet.

    I stopped drinking coffee too, I used to have 2 cups/day+ when I worked at Canadian Tire, that plus the 60 hour work weeks was too much for me, I went home sick one day with the same symptoms, shaking, dizzy etc. I passed out on my bed and slept for like close to 16 hours. I still drank coffee after that though, but I just quit recently, I drink green tea every morning instead now. I may have a cup of cofee on the weekend cause I still like the taste, but one cup a week is much better than 14 cups a week.
    Success is the ultimate revenge.

    Used to buy a French Vanilla when ever I could, or even a timmys umm Ice Cap.

    Now I'm in the Uk I never drink any of it cause they don't have a coffe shop or something even 5 blocks. So I guess thats a good thing, I also don't drink tea (only in India cause its soooo good).

    I would be more concerned about the sugar, fat and calories you are consuming rather than the coffee.

    For me coffee is a social thing. Every morning when I get to work some of us go and get a cup. It's part habit, part fun. Caffiene really doesn't do much for me but a warm drink in the morning especially on a winter day really does make you feel better.

    for me, coffe is part of life. being that i work at starbucks i understand a lot more about it then the average joe. ill have approximately 4 ounces of espresso a day mixed of course and it affects alot. enough to give me a pleasant buzz but not enough to send me into a shaking crack state like nismodrifter. i did that once though, it was my third shift there and i had 20 shots in 5 hours. i was shaking so badly they had to sit me down in the backroom, partly cause they couldnt stop laughing, partly cause i was scaring customers

    I dont need coffe, but I like to get a dunkaciino (SP?) whenever I can because they taste so dman good!
    Occasionally Ill have regular coffe if Im REALLY tired and I have to be up anyway, but I think it only works because of the placebo(sp?) effect.

    Cool Healthy Coffee - Clinically Proven To Boost Immune System

    Hello All!

    I couldn't help but notice all the coffee lovers here and just had to jump in to inform you all that there is new trend in North America that is taking coffee lovers by storm!

    I have found an incredibly great tasting gourmet 'healthy coffee' that is truly amazing. The best thing about this coffee is that it has less caffeine than decaf (8.4 mg where decaf has 10-20 mg/cup). It contains an ancient 2000 year old proven ingredient know as the 'King of Herbs' and is more powerful than Ginseng. It is called Red Reishi or Lingzhi in the Asian community. The scientific name is 'ganoderma' and if you go to www.pubmed.com or Google and type ganoderma in the search for ganoderma you will find hundreds (pubmed.com) and over 50,000 (Google) of 3rd party verification on its healing properties.

    This stuff tastes GREAT!

    It boosts your immune system and gives you more energy and stamina than your traditional caffeine SPIKE.

    This coffee is truly amazing and did I mention it tastes GREAT!

    If you want to try some free samples then fill out the form at http://www.javahealth.biz and one of my associates will get back to you shortly.

    Best regards,
