I tend to drink a lot of Coffee (as many people who know me well know, and my avatar should attest the fact ;) ), need a cup of each in a morning to start the brain gears working... Then several more to keep it working... I just love the fucking stuff though, gets you through the day. I like to have a cup of proper cafetiere coffee every so often too, much much tastier.

I drink a fair bit of Tea now... Tea is also like uber good for you (beer is still better though :grin: ). I'm also English, so I simply must drink tea :xcahik_:

How much of the stuff does everyone else drink? I know iced tea is popular in the USA, it's actually quite nice too, I was surprised when I tried some. I prefer it hot though :xcahik_: I know that coffee filters are fairly popular too, I just drink instant stuff most of the time though.

I'm English. I can't stand tea, and I never drink coffee out of choice (though I do like coffee). Mostly because I can never make a good cup for myself.

Hmm... Tea... can't live without the stuff. Fuels the brain and helps prevent cancer. :grin:

Coffee is ok, but I never really have it. And... PG Tips or Tetleys, Twinings is also nice for their morning tea and all day tea. ;)

Iced tea: now and again.

I'm good at making coffee, but I don't drink it myself, tis always for other people.

I try to avoid stimulants, exept for the occasional bit of chocolate :p

No, it can't.

And I'm basically same as Rawlo...I can make cuppa's of either for other people just fine. My own taste horrible to me tho. I obviously know HOW to make the drinks I just hate any that I make. And since nobody ever makes them for me I just end up not drinking them.

Well, even though it's artificial (I guess...), I pick up a 1.5 liter bottle of Lipton Green Tea at work, for break. Nasty aftertaste, but pretty good when cold (I don't always have time to refrigerate).

OLD SIG
When history witnesses a great change Razgriz reveals itself,
first as a dark demon. As a demon it uses it power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies. However after a period of slumber Razgriz returns
As the demon sleeps, man turns on man.
Its own blood, and madness soon cover the earth.
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz.
Its raven wings ablaze in majestic light.
Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through the dark skies
Fear and Death trail its shadow beneath
Until Men united wield a hallowed sabre
In Final Reckoning, the beast is slain.
Razgriz intrerpretation

I'm a tea man... always have been. Although i've changed where that's conserned. I use to have 2 sugars but then suddenly thought that was vile... and now i drink nothing but decaff which sometimes really irritates me cause it doesn't have the same kick in the balls (pep me up) i liked :(

And no Omega, it doesn't prevent cancer :p i've been drinking it all my life and if anything... it probably caused mine :p

Coffee= crap
Tea= crap

Its all about Redbull and Mountain dew! (as far as pick me up-ers go...) If i don't at least have a bottle of mountain dew a day i have a headack... That cant be good...


HERESY!

HERETIC!

FILTH!

HERETIC! PURGE THE HERETIC! BURN AWAY THE EVIL!


Um... sorry, lost it there... ;) (ZOMG, that smilie is me!)

Can't stand sugar in my drinks, makes coffee taste nasty, a little sugar in Tea is nice, but I prefer it really strong and not at all sweet :D

I must admit that mountain dew is a fairly tasty drink, I still prefer Tea though, so meh!

coffee=drink of belzebub!

tea, that is the nectar of the gods...especially earl grey tea leaves.

the teabag is just as good when in a hurry, but the tea leaves are the best for a nice cuppa.

There's not enough caffeine in coffee(except expresso, but that doesn't taste good).

Now, this is the shit! http://spikeshooter.com/

Here's a funny story about some kids who couldn't handle the awesomeness of Spike Shooter http://www.energyfie...om-high-schools

Several students at Doherty High School experienced symptoms ranging from nausea, to heart palpitations and shortness of breath after drinking the beverage known as "Spike Shooter."

"They of course had this burst of energy," Principal Jill Martin said. "But when they came down they almost couldn't function one girl got wheeled out of the classroom she could barely walk steady."

The fruit-flavored drink has no calories or sugar, but does contain herbal stimulants and high amounts of caffeine.

Doherty High School has banned the drink on campus. Some students who consumed Spike Shooter had to be hospitalized.

Tea: average of about a pint an hour.
Coffee: having discovered 2pints is enough to give me a severe athsma attack, limited to about a pint every few hours.
I normally have an extra tall Machiato. For those who don't know, its essentially expressos stacked up on top of each other until they look like a large black coffee, then a teaspoon of froth.

That stuff looks awesome! Anyone in Colarado wanna export me some? :thumbsupsmiley:
