Giving up coffee

[Allen]

After all, coffee causes cancer. Coffee prevents cancer. Coffee causes global warming. Fake coffee news often is used as a smoke screen to cover up stuff the media tries to hide.

Chip in America and do your part---just say NO for 3 days.

As soon as I was weaned off of breast milk, I started drinking coffee and still enjoy it today at 76 yrs of age; two cups every morning and one cup in the afternoon upon waking up from my nap. Of course, drinking coffee strong enough to float a horseshoe all the time I was in the Navy may have been a contributing factor. Hot, black and strong ......none of that sissy boy Starbucks crap for me!

Count me out. I'll stick with one of my last few remaining "habits", thank you very much, anyways!

I can count the number of cups of coffee I have had on one had
in 62 yrs

never liked it,

good English Black Tea, like PG Tips or Yorkshire or even Barry's Gold, is good stuff,

or some luzianne or lipton iced tea,

My earliest memories include me drinking coffee. In my pre-school days my mother would drop me off at my Grandmothers house where she served me toast and coffee every morning. Of course at that age the coffee was loaded down with heavy milk and sugar.

I continued all of my life drinking coffee. At my last job the rotating shift work with forced o/t resulted in a lot of physical and mental stress plus lack of sleep. It was necessary to drink coffee for the caffeine to cope with the daily grind of things. A typical 12 hour shift could result in drinking about 10 cups of very strong coffee. That's when I gave up all the milk and sugar.

Yeah, tea is no doubt better for you. Both have caffeine though. What's important with coffee is to find the brew, roast and strength that suits you. One mans music (and coffee) is another mans poison.

You guys do realize the original post here was a joke?

if coffee were outlawed, my wife would either die, or be in prison for killing whoever outlawed it,

she has to have a couple cups each morning,

me, a cuppa or 2, and then a cuppa or 2 in the mid afternoon, or a coke,

I don't need a lot of caffeine, but I need some ,

I usually drink six - eight cups of strong coffee i the morning. I've done that most of my adult life. I have borderline hypertension, typically 13x/11x. I had a "wellness check" at Kaiser last week. I decided to see what my BP would be if I skipped the morning coffee: 116/68. I haven't told my wife, but I think I WILL cut down. I'm down to one french press full (3-4 cups) from two, so far no withdrawal symptoms.

Another alternative may be to start drinking weaker coffee, starting with small moves?

When I was young I drank it strong because it had more taste. It was loaded up with cream and sugar too. When I got older, began long shift work and drank more coffee I had to start drinking it black. Now that I'm retired I drink the wives coffee: weak but smooth.

Prefer Dunkin Donut carmel or French vanilla...any other I can drink w/out sugar but need milk/cream to moderate caffene and acid.
No Starbucks or McD...hate burned taste.

That's the roast you are tasting, not the coffee.

Try Folgers Simply Smooth (mild roast, PH balanced) if you can find it. I mail order mine thru WalMart. Some of the larger stores stock it though.
