    1/5th of CP's population do not 'inhale' caffeine! Based on local research - our office runs on coffee!

    They are the lucky ones. Beer must be allowed at their work places.

      Not exactly. But I think that we should ask (maybe an other survey) WHAT they use instead of coffee! :laugh:

        If those were using tea, that should be reflected in the votes - it's about caffeine not coffee! and tea too have caffeine in it...

              Well, Beer would be an option, but sadly even in Germany that's not allowed :/ But i know a coder who is drinking cacao instead of coffee.

              if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

                This is not totally correct. In Bavaria beer is considered an article of basic need. So it is allowed to be sold, the same as food or so in automats. I have seen many companies with beer in the drink machines. Another question is responsible drinking and if this is ethic or not. But allowed, it is We always have a box of beer somewhere in the kitchen and some cold ones in the fridge.

                  I've been drinking tea for the last three years. It's not that I really enjoy tea, but it's better than plain water, healthier than soda, and it's all we get at work, water, coffee or tea. Before that I drank 0 caffeine and that's what I still drink when I'm not at work :)

                    Using tea is like using decaff. Main "poison" of the tea is tein. Assuming you drink "real" tea (black or green). Herbal teas are different. Maybe the question was supposed to be "What stimulant are you using?"

                        Yup, in bavaria (which is not Germany anyomore, if you listen to bavarians) they are allowed to drink beer, but it's not the case everywhere in bavaria, they are slightly trying to throw that away. Anyways, having a good ol "Feierabendbier" is still one of the best beers :)

                          There is no difference (except the origin) between caffeine and tein! It's only names...

                            That's a different question altogether! And you'd probably need a much wider range of answers, legal and illegal. :sigh:

                              I think the tea has some caffeine, but not all tea. So I now drink very small amounts of caffeine. I prefer to keep it that way. I don't like being addicted to anything, not even when the rest of humanity is also addicted and it's totally acceptable.

                                Only true tea has caffeine - the average is 26 mg for a bag... If you drink herbal tea - like me - you drink no caffeine!

                                    1/5th of CP's population do not 'inhale' caffeine! Based on local research - our office runs on coffee!

                                        Maybe CP could bring out a range of humorous t-shirts like that one :)

                                          I think the tea has some caffeine, but not all tea. So I now drink very small amounts of caffeine. I prefer to keep it that way. I don't like being addicted to anything, not even when the rest of humanity is also addicted and it's totally acceptable.

                                          Seems like an addiction to being not addicted to anything.
