Caffeine and Alcohol

NY2NC · Post by **NY2NC** » November 11, 2008 12:45 pm

I usually have two cups of coffee in the morning before I head to work. I used to have a Diet Coke in the afternoon but it started interferring with my sleep... So now I pretty much drink water all day. Usually have a couple glasses of wine a week too!

Can't start the day without the coffee.....7 days a week....

usually have wine with dinner or a drink after dinner... so not every night..but alot of nights....

Not really a coffee drinker ..... tea (iced, unsweetened) on occasion ..... caffeinated soda a few times a week.

Rarely drink alcohol during the week ..... and not necessarily every weekend.

I guess that makes me drowsy and boring.

Caffeine in the form of tea and Diet Coke daily

Alcohol in the form of a glass of wine at night

Anymore alcohol than that is weekends only and not much more at that these days

I can't believe the amount of soda people drink, I never touch the stuff (unless there's rum in it). My parents never kept soda in the house when I was a kid - it was either milk, juice or water - so I just never drank it.

Guilty as charged.

In the winter, one cup of coffee first thing at work, then diet Mt. Dew the rest of the day (way too many.)

As soon as it warms up, no more coffee - strictly diet Mt. Dew, starting first thing.

My folks didn't keep soda around, but drank coffee like crazy. I justify the diet Dew by believing it's no worse than the coffee habit.

Alcohol... definitely not daily, usually not even weekly. Got two kids and no time...

Add me to the soda-junkies list. Used to be much worse (3-5 20oz bottles of pepsi a day). Now I only have 1, sometimes 2 and I don't buy the stuff at home any more. The way my kids eat, if I keep any junk in the house, they'd be big 'ol fatties (like mom and dad

), so it's pretty much milk and water and sometimes juice for them.

When it comes to alcohol, I drink less than Larry. I've tried not to get in the habit of drinking alone. And I also don't drink when I have my kids over. It's not like I tell them I don't drink, then grab the Maraschino cherry juice and the Vanilla from the cupboard when they're not looking.

They see the beer and alcohol in the fridge....and they complain every time I make Jell-O....cause they know it's not for them.

This fact makes me a cheap date....anybody looking for one of those?

Ahhh... but how much TruBlood do you drink? That can't be cheap.

No caffiene at all for me. I enjoy a cup of coffee or a soda once in a while, but I don't really drink it. MAYBE one a month.

I'm a several glasses of sipping vodka or wine each night gal.

Y'all wouldn't believe my answer if I told you, what with stories of my behavior plus the type of place I work, but the answer ain't what you think.

I usually only drink it on days I work, and sometime not even then. And I even go a day or two (or more) without drinking the other stuff.

So you and I are living proof that alcohol isn't necessary to act stupid.

Necessary? No. But it's been known to help.

I have a couple of cups of DECAF Coffee every morning.
Had to switch about a year ago cuz my Doc told me to.

I have a few drinks a week...occasionally I overdo it, but I try to keep that to a minimum.

I tried decaf several years ago..... stuff just tore up my stomach. Swore I was getting an ulcer, but when I switched back to regular coffee, it all went away. Weird, huh?
