Choose: Coffee or Air?

I choose air, but it was a difficult choice to make!

My wife made decaf this whole day, which was a bit unusual. I did not know this however. By 10AM I was sleeping in the chair after breakfast. At 2PM I finally got up and went for a jog and it seemed like I had cement boots, wondering if I was falling seriously ill! Then, finally at about 4PM I found out. Then had a stiff cup of coffee and all was well. I don't drink that much normally - one cup of Cafe Bustelo Expresso followed by another cup or two of regular coffee during the day and then some decaf. Boy, things sure did not go so well today starting my day with decaf!
 

I have genes that make me process caffeine really fast, so I can drink a nice strong cup of coffee any time. It doesn't effect my sleep and it doesn't do all that much for me in the morning either. I love it, though I only drink a cup a day, because I have to drink 10 cups of actual water daily, too. Years ago, I used to drink around 10 cups of coffee a day. People used to joke that I lived on coffee.

I'd choose air. Without it, I wouldn't be alive to drink coffee.

This is a rhetorical question of course. My point is that I really like and need my coffee in the morning. I could wean myself off it if I really wanted to. But I don't want to! Still, I try to limit to 2-3 cups per day.

I'm much the same, take after Dad. I enjoy my coffee, black unsweetened and strong but it is the flavor. It doesn't really effect me much. The down side is that it is useless to stay alert when driving long hauls. I can drink it all day and go to sleep whenever ready.

I would choose air. I don't drink much coffee and when I do it doesn't bother me. I drink it for the taste.
If I drink it on an empty stomach I sometimes get heartburn which gives me an excuse to have an afternoon snack with the coffee.
