Caffeine

[knifey offline]

Because everybody loves these <S>stupid and pointless</S> WHAT DO LIKE TO EAT/DRINK threads.

I'm gonna laugh really really hard and get kinda pissed if I see someone make an ice cream thread.

I was gonna name it coffee, but it would have been rude to leave out tea WHICH IS MADE OF WIN.

Yeah. Talk <I>about</I> caffeinated beverages here; it'd be nice if people didn't <I>just</I> say what coffee or tea they like. But there's already a soda thread. Hur.

Last time I drank coffee it tasted like dirt. That's why I don't drink it, and I heard that caffeine alters your metabolism in a bad way. Not sure how she explained it. I'll have to ask the person who made that statement sometime soon.

I drank chamomile tea multiple times in the past but I think my mother said it had no caffeine in it. So maybe it doesn't apply here haha.

I have an addiction to soda. El oh el

It's nice to see what the forum has turned into nowadays. And I believe I said to post what CAFFEINATED beverages you liked here, not post what sugar induced products you enjoy.

Caffeine actually doesn't affect me that well. I can have 3 (maybe 4) cans of soda and drift off to dreamland like I never guzzled 'em down.

I've heard that chamomile tea is actually a relaxant.

For me Coffee tastes like crap. Mountain Dew is better.

Agreed with that! Mountain Dew pwns!

I never was into tea or any of that sort of thing...

It depends on many things:

1. The right beans, arabica being the good kind.
2. "Creamed" or "black". Coffee is acidic, so people like me prefer to add milk. Otherwise, it tastes sour.
3. Sugar. Coffee can be as sweet as you like it to be, or you can put in none at all (Mtn. Dew doesn't give you that choice).*
4. Temperature. It's good hot or iced. Everybody wins!

*(Seriously, I have no problem w/ M.D. or any other soda.)

[DarkestSoul X21 offline]

I tryed a lot of different kinds of coffee. It just doesn't suit me.

[Jake_Brake offline]

How about tea? Pretty much everything I said about coffee applies to tea as well.

TEA!

Lulz, if caffine screws with your metabolism, then maybe I should cut back on the tea. D:

Coca-cola FTW.

I knwo some people like Pepsi, and some refer Mountain Dew, but Coca-cola will hae a special place in my <s>heart</s> Stomach.

maybe your just not drinking the right coffee. My mom always let me try her coffee, which has cream and suger in it, and I hated how it tasted, my dad let me try his, he drinks his black, no suger or creamer, and I like it that way.

weird isn't it? the kid with the worlds biggest sweet tooth likes her coffee black.

I'm actually a coffee/tea virgin. I've never had it before. Soda, on the other hand, is pwnage.

Coffee is good. Black or white, hot or cold, either works. I don't like it weak or very strong, nor too sweet. I don't drink it with milk too often, so it's usually instant coffee, but it tastes alright anyways. I'm not as big on tea as I am to coffee, but with a bit of cream and sugar, I enjoy it (iced or hot). I try not to have either often, though--my tongue starts to feel a little leathery after a few sips, and my mouth gets dry (dehydration).

I hate soda with a passion, though. I have sensitive teeth, so the high levels of sugar really hurt, to the point where I have to chew with my front teeth (it makes me look utterly retarded). I usually take a drink of soda after I'm finished eating, so I can let the pain fall away in the next couple of hours before I eat again. Gargling salt water and brushing does help a bit, though.

There may be some truth to that. To keep it simple, caffeine affects your adrenals, which are related to metabolism rates. But, like all things in life, moderation is the key. Drinking several cups of coffee a day for years on end is extreme--a cup every day or so probably won't effect you, at least not while you're young.

Green tea = pwn. As well as normal tea / iced tea.

Pretty much any kind of coffee, black = amazing. One night I drank 10 cups. Bangin'. I don't like cream and sugar; coffee's phenomenal as it is.

Ummm soda rules. Mountain Dew especially.

Then there's energy drinks. Ohhhhh lord, give me any kind and I will consume it. But Monster = true pwn.


I have a srs caffeine addiction, btw.

I myself actually can't drink much soda. Or rather, I try not to; it burns my throat WAAAYYY too much going down. The darker sodas especially, like Coke, Dr. Pepper, etc. I have a theory that I've got acid reflux (which wouldn't surprise me; both my parents do, and I believe you inherit that) which could be the reason; sensitive esophagus and all that. I love me my Sprite and 7Up, though. And Canada Dry ginger ale. Although...does ginger ale have caffeine in it? Come to think of it, I don't think Sprite does, either. Ah well xD

I'm also a coffee fffiiiieeeeennnnnd. I love it so veryvery much, especially if it's been iced, and/or with milk and sugar added. When I don't have the time to make it myself, or there's other factors (our machine is picky) I live on those bottled Starbucks drinks xD;

And I love energy drinks, as well. My particular choice is one made by... No Fear, I think it was. It's one called Blue Demon, and it's my top pick when I'm grabbing one on the go. I used to drink one called Rush, 'till they stopped making it :\ Also, funnily enough, Red Bull puts me to sleep xDD

Not to mention that I literally grew up with teas of all sorts, in particular iced tea. But then again, I DO live in the South ;P


*also a caffeine addict*
