'COFFEE' THE BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS

[Jeanway 0]

I never did this before. Yesterday I was feeling really tired so I drank a 20 oz. bottle of Coke in about a minute. Felt sooo much better Think I'll do that more often. "CAFFIENE IS GOOD!!"

"CAFFIENE IS GOOD!!"

Caffiene is our friend. All hail caffiene.......

 

Let me re-iterate that I am not addicted to caffiene.... I take it for the taste.

[WEAREBORG4102 0]

I like the taste and the energy it provieds....

I'm going to have to take some Red bull every night with my schedule....

I have a pin that says "I worship the coffee god". Need I say more?

I have to make sure I don't have too much blood in my Coffee system.

I can't tell you how many times I used this little phrase since you posted it Jim

[Jim Phaserman 0]

I am in the Navy.  When I was aboard a ship I was drinking more coffee than water.  I think at that time my blood was half caffeine.

got too much blood in your caffiene system, Odie?

 

 

I know, alot of people don't like the fact that I smoke, but Coffee and Marlboro reds are the only things sparing the lives of certain people in my office.

Marlboros HUH? Hope they are the 'Lights'. Those full flavor ones really give you a kick. I need to quit smoking. I wish I never started.

[Jim Phaserman 0]

I didn't even know you smoked. and they are 100's, not lights. I sucked down a pot and a half of coffee today to go along with my Cowboy Killers.

How much coffee do you drink?

Sometimes I drink a cup, but usually 2 or three...

I remember you asking me that question months ago. Right now being in shore duty status I really don't drink much coffee. I try to keep my caffine down so when I am back to a ship I get the caffine kick with one or two cups of Navy coffee.

People like me a lot better after my third cup of joe in the morning! (Or maybe it's that I like people a lot better after my third cup ) Either way, when I was working, I would drink a 12 cup pot all by myself before noon. I don't do that anymore, but I do get in at least 4 cups every morning.

As I sit here chewing on chocolate covered coffee beans and washing them down with liquid coffee. Naa, I'm not addicted

My mom does that too. The chocolate covered coffee beans are too much for me. There is no way I could stomach coffee today. I'm actually thinking of making some hot tea and I usually hate hot tea.

I agree, Odie. we in the Navy enjoy massive quantities of Coffee that often resembles used motor oil. I know when I go to sea, and even here at home, I have to make sure I don't have too much blood in my Coffee system.

Inport I try not to drink too much coffee. I need the caffee kick underway. Esp. for the mid-watch on the bridge.

I, too, was in the Navy. I retired 2 years ago and spent the whole time saturated with coffee. Now I only drink a pot and a half a day. I had to slow down a bit as I didn't need to stay awake 12 days a week anymore.

So, YES, I love coffee.

**WARNING** Watch out for that mid-afternoon let down Either have some more coffee or get over it. I'm trying to get over it but I think I'm losing the battle :huh: .

Caffeine only weakens the immune system, don't let it seduce you.

I love coffee. My doctor told me to cut back, so I told him I cut back the number of cups I had a day in half. He said that's great how'd you do it? I said I got twice as big of a cup. He did not find that funny! :doctor:

[Jeanway 0]

WAYS I'VE TRIED TO CUT BACK:

 

1. Use smaller cups. But then I'd refill them

 

2. Drink tea instead. But then I'd drink twice as much tea.

 

3. Dump the cup out when I had only drank half.

 

4. Use half hot water and half coffee from the pot.

 

5. Use more cream or milk. :(

 

6. Put tea bags in the coffee maker basket instead of coffee.

 

NONE OF THESE THINGS HELPED SO I JUST STOPPED DOING THEM. :angry:

 

DON'T EVEN TALK TO ME ABOUT DE-CAF

[RikerChick 5]

I've gone 2 days now with no coffee and I feel fine, so I guess I'm not as addicted as I thought.

[sea trooper 0]

I love coffee! I can't walk into a dunkin donuts without getting an iced cofee, coffee coolatta, or an iced late. I just LOVE coffee!

[Jeanway 0]

The longest I've ever gone without coffee is 4 days. That 4th day just busted my chops.

[RikerChick 5]

Well I just had 3 cups of coffee.

OH, I'm sorry RC. :angry: But maybe next time you should just stay out of the Coffee thread til you get over the hump. Each time I try I learn what NOT to do next time. Like trying to quit smoking. I still drink coffee and I still smoke. I'm not doing so well either. And eat too much sugar and don't get enough exercise. AW Crap. :helpsmilie:

[RikerChick 5]

Oh I have absolutely no intention of quitting coffee. I only went 2 days without because I was sick.

[Jeanway 0]

:angry: OH, so this means your better now, well that's good then, right? I drink coffee even when I'm sick. ESPECIALLY when I don't feel well AND pop Excedrin

 

Til I look like this guy-->> I'm just one big addiction.

[Angel of Darkness 0]

Nope...sorry Jeanway. Hate the stuff

[Jeanway 0]

I like it :wacko: :blink:

[Mike 5]

Yes..Must have Coffee... I like it..

[sea trooper 0]

I LOVE my iced lattes from dunkin donuts. They're awsome!
