Can't handle coffee, it makes me super jittery for a half hour, then I have to run to the can where I'll spend another half hour. Then its just out of my system.

I have a cup of tea in the morning, and if I'm really tired that day, maybe a second at lunch.

Was never really a coffee drinker until I started working downtown full-time.

I don't think I'm dependent on it but its more of a social thing or something to do before being chained to the desk for the rest of the day.

I usually do a mug of Tim's or 2nd Cup - black...I like the dark, sometimes bitter-ish taste. I think that wakes me up more than the caffiene.

May do a K-cup at work after that...it's funny that everyone loves the K-cup at home but everyone in the office hates it, maybe its the cheap ones we get.

Very seldom will I have a coffee after lunch. That post-noon java sometimes make me jittery. Usually I'll just have tea.

On weekends, I like doing the cafe stroll for a latte or a Vietnamese coffee with my pho. And also...lots yereba mate.

Don't regularly drink coffee but the occasional coffee from Tims when it's cold and a good iced vietnamese coffee is amazing.

Latte this morning. Today feels like a 2-coffee day.

Textcritic, you are in Scandanavia. Coffee drinking is an art over there. They drink so much damn coffee it is incredible.

I was shadowing Eye surgeons in Stockholm that would down 10 cups before surgery... not sure how they remained steady.

I've never smoked a full cigarette but I have took a drag here and there 10 years ago after the clubs. I hate the smell of both of them so never had an interest. Plus look at the money people waste on it.

I'm also in the same boat. I find the thought of directing inhaling smoke into my lungs disgusting. I can't get past the thought, makes me want to puke.

I've never smoked a cigarette, cigar, or even a joint.

It's not that I'm morally opposed to any of the above, I just can't do it.

I try and make up for lacking the drugs in the before mentioned items by consuming copious amounts of coffee and beer.

0... i tried it once and thought it was disgusting. to this day i still think it smells gross. i don't like mocha chocolates or anything else with coffee 'flavouring'

i'm not a tea drinker either. the only warm drink i don't mind is hot chocolate.

i mostly only drink water... boring, i know. oh well

Zero.
My parents, siblings and wife are all coffee drinkers. I can't stand it though.
I've tried it once and thought it was nasty.
The closest I get is Coffee Crisp

How much sleep per night is everyone getting? (Especially those who drink 3+ cups / day?)

I usually down one decaf a day, sometimes a half-caf if I need a kick.

I was trending down the path of caffeine addiction and then decided to boot the habit. Started drinking half-cafs to wean myself off, then decaf (I still like the taste of coffee, just don't need the caffeine anymore). Felt way better when I no longer felt any need for coffee anymore.
