At work, I was recently on one of the coffee-fetching breaks. Well, I actually fetched my trusty herbal tea. Then we met another guy at the coffee machine and they all started talking about how much coffee they drank. Eventually, they came to the conclusion that they were all addicted, because they had kids. And I just stood there with my trusty herbal tea, like yep, I don’t have kids.
Who says coffee is not good for you? There’s a lot of benefits including reduced cancer risk supposedly. Lots of studies on it.
As for it not getting me drunk… why would I want that? Alcoholism runs in my immediate family, and while I will drink a bourbon on rare occasions, I’m not really much for alcohol. Don’t like it generally, and don’t enjoy being drunk.
With regard to drinking and enjoying coffee, I don’t have blood pressure issues and my resting heart rate can get into the low 60s if I’m not doing much, even when caffeinated. Coffee keeps me going, tastes good, and nothing better than a hot drink. I don’t drink soda or anything really besides water, tea (black teas and herbal), and coffee.
What are you Mormon? Caffeine alone is mild but decent stimulant that can help in a decent enough number of ways, coffee also doesnt have the notable downsides of sodas and is relatively cheap. Mind you I prefer caffeinated drink mixes but still same results more or less.
Urinating after a 2 hour meeting where you needed to go within the first ten minutes because you consumed too much diuretic is definitely an overwhelmingly strong feeling of release. I think it’s a kink thing for people who are scared of being called kinky.
Caffeine can act as a mild pain killer without taking pain killer medicine. There’s one good thing right there. And the one thing everyone should try before writing off coffee as tasting bad is a light roast drip or Americano.
That’s a really small sample group. For another really small sample group, all the people I know that are addicted to coffee got there because they needed to stay awake at the wee hours of the night. Just in case someone decided taking shots at the Infantry in a combat zone was a good idea.

Married 18 years, no kids. I think I drink something like 36+ ounces of coffee a day. Myth disproven, I guess.
So my question is…why? Coffee has never been good, or good for you. It doesn’t get you drunk. It has mild addictive qualities.
I’m just not seeing a positive here.

I assure you, many of us were drinking copious amounts of coffee before kids, too.

Uh…great story?
Thanks!
