    Switch to strong black tea (pick some good stuff, no dust bags) - same effect, softer to your body and your stomach, and you can have the same "add on" orgy as with coffee, plus the "lemon" option. Just don't mix cream & lemon, will ya? go for it

      Brian Delahunty wrote: I'm thinking of giving up coffee You're right. That is completely meaningless. What's important is, what are you replacing it with? Consider these scenarios: I'm thinking of giving up coffee... and going hard-core on the freebasing. Good idea. Mixing the two is bad for your heart i've heard; good to know you're taking better care of yourself. I'm thinking of giving up coffee... It's been keeping me awake in class. A commendable plan once again. Don't ever let chemicals stand between you and a good day's rest. I'm thinking of giving up coffee... and using milk in my scotch instead. No. That is just wrong. Besides, the milk will curdle. I'm thinking of giving up coffee... it just doesn't have a place in my diet of organic potato juice and chemical-free bean sprouts. Terrible idea. If anything, you need *more* coffee, along with some red meat (preferably raw) and at least a case of Li'l Debbie snacks each day. --------- So you see, a bit more information and we can help you out. :)

Up until 18 I thought alchohol was this bizarre, awful liquid that mad people drank (ok so that made 98% of the world mad, but hey I was young and naive.) Then I hit 18 and figured out what all the fuss was. Same with coffee. I thought it was horrid but from about 19 to 20 my tastes changed and suddenly a Star Bucks Latte is heaven on earth... in a cup... with a lid. i.e. You are young, you will change in the coming years and so might your tastes :) (just ask anyone here over 21 and they will verify this.)

                            Ah.. as Paul said, it' like drink. Now strangely enough I can give up drink easily. I managed to go 4.5 months without any last year while still going out with my friends as much as usual. Coffee on the other hand is very addictive.. well to me anyway. Regards, Brian Dela :-)

Up until 18 I thought alchohol was this bizarre, awful liquid that mad people drank (ok so that made 98% of the world mad, but hey I was young and naive.) Then I hit 18 and figured out what all the fuss was. Same with coffee. I thought it was horrid but from about 19 to 20 my tastes changed and suddenly a Star Bucks Latte is heaven on earth... in a cup... with a lid. i.e. You are young, you will change in the coming years and so might your tastes :) (just ask anyone here over 21 and they will verify this.)

                                      Although it may take longer. My love for coffee only started this year (ok, I'm a slow learner), when I noticed the Starbucks in Canary Wharf on my way to the office from the tube. Perhaps Starbucks have more to answer for than we realise? Whatever, their mocha cappucino on cold days, and their mocha frappucinno on hot days (never leave the chocolate component out!) is, as you say, heaven in a cup :-D

                                        Ah.. as Paul said, it' like drink. Now strangely enough I can give up drink easily. I managed to go 4.5 months without any last year while still going out with my friends as much as usual. Coffee on the other hand is very addictive.. well to me anyway. Regards, Brian Dela :-)

But then again if I drank as much booze as I drink coffee or tea I would be comatose and probably never be able to kick the habit. Still it shows that coffee and tea are not the safe, acceptable drinks we think they are! (and it shows Starbucks is way smarter than any bar or club as they realise the dual sides of coffee in our society.) Brian Delahunty wrote: Now strangely enough I can give up drink easily. I managed to go 4.5 months without any last year I would never ever drink alone, just can't bear the thought. And the only regular drink I have is a tot or three of brandy with Janina's dad on sundays. But if I do go out then it is normally a bender. I have never understood people who drink in moderation.
