    Tea and coffee: Never liked the smell of them since I was a kid. Alcohol: I was 24 before I went into a pub for the first time*1, and decided that I was better of not starting to drink. Then again, you don't miss what you never had*2, so its not a problem for me. *1 This was due to Dungeons and dragons...I spent all my spare time playing *2 Sex is different of course, you always miss sex! Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Death come early, death come late, It takes us all, there is no reason. For every purpose under heaven, To each a turn, to each a season. A time to weep and a time to sigh, A time to laugh and a time to cry, A time to be born and a time to die. Dust to dust and ashes to ashes, And so I end my song.

    Fair enough. I just find tea, coffee and alcohol are pleasurable beverages. Saying that I am on week two of no tea or coffee. From 20 cups a day to 0. Third day was hell, had a headache the size of Alaska. All fine now, though I still look lovingly towards the kettle :-D *2 Sex is different of course, you always miss sex!

      Never drank coffee, ever. Never drank tea, ever. Never drank alcohol, ever. I used to live of fizzy drinks, but now I subsist on water only. (well most of the time) I have a great life don't I? :~ Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Death come early, death come late, It takes us all, there is no reason.

        More important question: Has anyone ever squeezed the filter (with the grounds) to get those last few drops of preciousness? not that i have of course, it's just a hypothetical question, i mean, anyone who would do that would be mad, although there could be awfully good reasons for doing something like that - why are you looking at me like that? i didnt say i did that! you're always attacking that which you dont understand - no, i'm not being defensive, alright, maybe i am being defensive... ;) Jeremy Kimball

Coffee isn't the most pleasant of tastes but is okay in very small doses. I drank rather a little too much of it in my youth 17-22 whilst working as a developer. It didn't do me a lot of good. I did 20 years without alcohol between the ages of 10 - 30. It does tend to depend on what you drink; personally I can't stand proper beer but can cope with the taste of lager.

                  Heh. I am so in trouble when it comes to coffee. I have Starbucks brought into the office that can be made anytime, a starbucks in the lobby of the building and an Aribica across the street. Someone is trying to tell me something... :P Mark Conger Sonork:100.28396

                      mmmm... Starbucks Americano.... I love reading headlines about coffee's cancer-preventing properties. Makes it that much more enjoyable to drink it.

                        My taste buds never grew up enough to appreciate much more than very milky coffee. I do enjoy tea, horlicks and hot chocolate at both work and home however. Also, do Starbucks Iced Mocha Fraps count as coffee? :-O

                                          I donot drink tea or coffee either. Of the two I prefer coffee, just in case I decide to have a cup. I generally kept off from the two just cos I did not want to make a habit. Once during aclient meeting, the client guy was so shocked at me not having tea. Asked me: how I live without tea. later hecorrected his question to: why I live without tea :-D Smitha Every person, all the events of your life, are there because you have drawn them there.
