Are you a caffeine junkie? Soda guzzler? Tea/coffee addict?

All I need is Cold Tea and Cold Water. Don't drink soda. There is nothing in soda that your body needs. Don't need alcohol either. I also drink once in awhile fruit and vegetable juices.

I drink two cups of caffeinated organic coffee per day. When I drink tea, it's herbal. Ginger beer is the only soda I drink in the occasional Moscow Mule.
 
One cup of coffee with breakfast, limit of 2 diet sodas, lots of water!
 

My little coffee pot makes "4 cups" of (Kroger brand) coffee, but it's really just one large mug and I drink it every morning. I don't think I could go on with life without it.

That's it though, just water from my Britta pitcher the rest of the day.

I'm often amazed at the grocery store to see people whose carts are loaded with either soda pop or bottled water. All that money and heavy lifting for zero nutrition!
 
I like Ethiopian coffee beans, I am trying San Francisco Fog because it was convienant. Lately drinking more coffee, maybe three cups a day. I also drink green tea & black mixed stored in the fridge to have a lunchtime. Decafinated green tea also stored in fridge to have for the third meal of the day. I drink Chaga mushroom tea that I buy online, usually a pound or two, I ground into powder.
 
I'm a tea drinker, also drink a lot of water, hot chocolate on a cold winter's day
When I was younger I drank Pepsi, haven't had any in yrs
I like the smell of fresh brewed coffee, but don't care for the taste
 
Used to drink about a pot a day. But now I drink one strong cup of expresso in the morning. If I am tired at lunch time, I take a short nap. I sometimes have a second cup of regular coffee after my nap or instead of my nap. Otherwise I go with decaf. Coffee is not bad for you in moderation. And I think a nap is far better than too much coffee.

Caffeine has a half life of about 5 hours. Doing the math, 1 cup at 7am and 1 cup at noon results in the caffeine equivalent of 3/8 of a cup by 10pm.
 
Yup. I'm going to try to give up diet soda because there was a recent study that came out that says artificial sweeteners can cause slight blood sugar spikes and one of my relatives developed Type I diabetes in her old age.

Plus, a diet soda or sugar soda is basically a chemical cocktail. Our metabolisms handle everythere so well when we are young. As an older person, should I be drinking all those chemicals every single day? Cell processing. Am I stressing my poor old cells with all those chemicals? IDK. Maybe.

Therfore, if my body think I'm drinking a sugary soda when I have a Diet Pepsi, I need to wean myself off of it. I need to keep my pancreas happy and healthy.

It will be tough, but what isn't as we age, right? I can still have coffee and tea! I also like Ginger Tea, but it's kind of expensive, IMO.
 
I drink fruit juices as fresh as possible, cider, and electrolyte water. I drink herbal tea when the weather is very cold. I never touch coke or soda or coffee. But I have other vices that keep me interesting.

I drink around 2 cups of coffee a day . I won't reveal just how large those cups are though ;) and I have a 16 ounce of bottle of Coke every night. I used to drink a lot of Coke during the day but now I limit to the one and drink water throughout the day. I do have an iced tea when I go out for lunch but I don't drink it at home.
 
I have not had a Coke or a cup of coffee in over 60 years. However, when I lived in California, my favorite drink was Tazo bottled iced green tea, which I diluted with distilled water because it was too sweet. This arrangement suited me well, as I was getting three bottles of tea for the price of one.
 
Two cups of coffee every morning- then green tea, or real fruit juice, or V-8 and often half a can of pop- I save the other half can in a small hefty baggie
for the next day and I drink plenty of water. I always bring a cold bottle of water with me when I drive somewhere.

I had a small kidney stone years ago and my urologist said to stay well hydrated, and at my next annual check up with him, it was gone. I didn't even know I had passed it.

I just saw on TV that they are questioning the additives in a lot of the cereals and snack foods Americans buy. I need to get more info on that.

Once in a while I buy a small bottle of white milk or chocolate milk but it amazes me how long the expiration date is on milk these days.

That concerns me. But I am old enough to remember, when I lived in a city, (Trenton NY) that the horse drawn milk wagon would leave 6 small bottles of milk maybe once or twice week on our doorstep. And with an Icebox ,we had to drink it up fast before the iceman would bring more ice, to chill the icebox.

My father took me one day to the Ice place to pay his bill and it amazed me to see stacks and stacks of cut ice ,in a large barn type structure, that came from the Delaware River.

I haven't seen that much ice in the Delaware since George Washington , On December 25-26 ,1776 ,brought over 5,000 troops and across the river, to win the Battle of Trenton.

That is, I wasn't there personally to see the ice in 1776 --:)-
the ice filled Delaware is depicted by many artist's renditions of this remarkable American Mgeneral-washington-crossing-the-delaware-river-war-is-hell-store.jpgilitary feat.
