What is it with Coffee and programmers
-
I like it and I badly need caffeine.

I never drink coffee when I work and never have - is it just for the caffeine rush ? If you need it for inspiration / stamina - you need to kick back - I obviously have too much time on my hands :-D

Coffee is one the the Drinks Of The Gods - Gin'n'Tonic is the other - but the only one that doesn't get you arrested for driving after drinking it. It helps you focus, plus stay awake in meetings!

Turkish coffee for the workday, Irish coffee for the weekend - both are drinks of the gods! :) Seriously, coffee gives the the extra push during the workday. Mixed with alcohol, it mellows me (but keeps me moderately alert) on the weekend.

I can quit any time.
I'll only drink it until I need glasses. :)
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I used to despise coffee until I worked night shift for about a year. It never seemed to matter how much sleep I had gotten, that early morning crash was going to come in hard. Picked up coffee to try and make finishing a shift easier. Ultimately ended up finding a taste for it, to the point where I like to explore different coffee blends. Oh, and it must be hot coffee. Get out of here with that iced nonsense. :laugh:

You apparently never tried a well made Sazerac then.

That's not a drink - it's a cocktail! :laugh:

When I used to smoke I always said; quitting smoking is not hard, I've done it a thousand times.
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27. JaxCoder.com

Coffee is one of the essential food groups, not consumed on a regular basis it causes dingbautulus which is akin to scurvy and although not fatal can cause a severe craving to listen to Justin Bieber music.

Never had a coffee in my life[*], and I just never started because I suspect I'd probably be the type who drinks 6 a day. There was a period of time in my 20s when I had 2-3 Coke cans a day, but thankfully gave that up. These days on my desk I have these extra-large plastic Subway cups that I refill with water 3-4 times a day. It's probably my saving grace. [*] I've had chocolate-covered coffee beans, and I like the rush, but I intentionally avoid making a habit out of it.

Studies have shown it increases your focus and pattern recognition. I usually have 2-4 large cups a day. Multiple studies have shown the health benefits of coffee far outweigh the problems. A word of advice, if you: start to get the shakes from the caffeine, then stop for the day. :cool:
