Tea Or Coffee..?

[rk0r]

What is your daily dose of caffeine ?

[odiseo77]

Coffee (around 8 cups a day), and occasionally, green tea (around 2 or 3 cups a week).

[forrestcupp]

If you're going to include Pepsi and Coke, you should include Mountain Dew, which has more caffeine than most other soft drinks.

I did learn something today when I looked this up on Mayo Clinic. I always thought Mt. Dew has more caffeine than coffee, but it doesn't. Mt. Dew has 46-55mg per 12 oz, and generic brewed coffee has 95-200mg per 8 oz.

[gutterslob]

Tea

[BrokenKingpin]

Tea and coffee here. I probably like tea more, but I drink more coffee while I am at work as it is more convenient.

[samalex]

AM is Coffee
PM is Tea
Everything in between is Diet DP :)

Ah i forgot about that drink mainly because they dont sell it in the uk anymore! :( .
Can anyone remember Lipton Ice Tea ?

Is MT.dew Green in colour ?

[farrinux]

I second that forrestcupp. MD really should be included, as an old MDaholic it's has a significant punch. :lolflag:

[farrinux]

rk0r it is green.

[wojox]

Tea and Coke. I use to have a crutch to MD. I would drink it for breakfast and pepole would look at me funny. :confused:

It has oranje juice in it. ;)

[nathan.the.sane]

I like hanging out in coffeeshops and I drink coffee while I'm there, but this doesn't happen very often. I'll also have a soft drink every once in a while when I get the urge, or when somebody takes me out to eat. I chose "What's caffeine?" :lolflag:

Is MT.dew Green in colour ?I still buy Lipton tea bags to make brewed iced tea.

Mt. Dew is yellow-green, but closer to yellow. It's a citrus drink, but it has orange in it as well as lemon-lime.

Dew that I normally drank, I would get a headache. I went through a very hard time of kicking the caffeine habit. So years later, I decided to fall into the Pepsi pit instead of Mountain Dew. :)

[Erik1984]

Mainly coffee but maybe I should start replacing coffee with tea more often.

[Grenage]

AM: Proper coffee made at home, comes out like treacle. So good, but my stomach can't handle more than 1 mug (I could drink costa/starbucks all day and have no problem).

5PM+: Green/White/Oolong tea. Good stuff, my teapot and strainer have seen much use.

Jolt!!

I drink coffee during the day and usually have a Coke/Pepsi at lunch (whichever is available.. I grew up in a Coke family and married somebody from a Pepsi family).

When I am able to, I prefer Mountain Dew to C/P for those late-night games and such.

Halfway between red/black tea, and green tea.

I tried green tea once.. never again.

Coffee!! Coffee coffee coffeecoffeecoffeecoffee!

Milk & Pepsi. It's like a root beer float only cheaper.

[forrestcupp]

Jolt!! Do they still make that stuff?

Coffee AND tea, in that order.

[QIII]

Don't ask me such a tough question early in the morning. It takes about 4 cups of coffee to clear the cobwebs.

I'm English, so of course Tea :) Normal tea and Green tea

[jasonrisenburg]

I prefer diet mountain dew, monster... well anything with caffeine except coffee and tea. Because of my religion it is out of my diet .... lol

[Toz]

Since espresso shooters weren't on the list, I went with coffee.

[keithpeter]

Good God man, its coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon. Your poll does not fit my culture so I've gone for tea as its after sundown here.

[GWBouge]

Do they still make that stuff?

I think it disappeared from the cola section for a while, but re-emerged into the energy drink market a few years ago. It's hard to come across, I typically only see it at those little Mom'n'Pop gas stations.

http://www.joltenergy.com/

I voted for just about all of'em, it depends on what I'm doing or where I'm going. About a pot of coffee to get me out the bed, Red Bull (-type drink) if I actually go anywhere, and coke/tea throughout the day.

But my preference wasn't on the list, and it's pretty hard to find local:

Tea - Black and Oolong - 4+ cups a day.
You can't get anything better than Lipton's here so I have to order the stuff I like.

[lykwydchykyn]

Coffee. All.Day.Long.

It's no longer a question of getting buzzed, it's about getting right...

[beanhead]

Freshly roasted at home expresso is my choice.
mmmmmmmmm coffee!

[coffee412]

I drink one to two pots of coffee a day. IIT hehhlps mee get mey worka donesa !@!!!

:D

[Mr. Picklesworth]

The lot! All mixed up together in a bucket.

Unless I'm having a day where I don't feel like being an idiot. Then it's lots of tea (Mark's and Spencer's Extra Strong!), and the occasional fancy coffee.

[Old_Grey_Wolf]

Re: Tea Or Coffee..?

None of the choices listed. I can't stand the taste of coffee, and proper tea takes to long to make. I prefer other beverages over Pepsi and Coke-a-Cola as well.

I take my caffeine alkaloid in pure powdered form.

Yep, powwderred, pwdrd, form, yeh...I thought I already posted this...Why is the forum so slow... :)

:lolflag:

[effenberg0x0]

I alternate between Coke, Coffee and a daily dose of omeprazole (just to pretend I still care about my stomach). It's a healthy diet :)

Regards,
Effenberg

[beanhead]

Home roasted expresso when I wake up is the best.

[Simian Man]

Black tea in the morning and herbal tea in the afternoon. I rarely drink soda and definitely not Mountain Dew - yuck.

One of my friends has reflux. It's not a pleasant condition to live with. I hope omeprazole works for you. :neutral:

[Bandit]

Coffee then coke or another softdrink followed by out 3 energy drinks till I am off work ending the day with a glass or two of iced tea.. :D

Got to keep that caffine comming...

[MisterGaribaldi]

Two cups of coffee a day, thanks.

I like tea, too, but I'm far more of a coffee drinker.

[bastones]

Definitely tea :)

[Linuxratty]

Coffee at breakfast,tea the rest of the day. No sodas.

[MisterGaribaldi]

No sodas for me either, thanks. That stuff is just nasty!

[odiseo77]

Same here. Not only they're nasty, but they're also very unhealthy.

I dont like the bit where he said " one glass made my stomach hurt.. " this is screaming stomach ulcer! :D

[chili555]

Well, sirs and madams, that's a complicated question. If you are talking about my first thing in the morning who-am-I where-am-I caffiene dose, then it's coffee; and, by the way, don't slow down enough for cream and sugar. That thar cream and sugar, that's fer the wimmin-folk. I need it hot, black, now. I don't need to pay five bucks fer it neither.

At lunch and later, make it the ubiquitous in the US south sweet tea. That's iced tea with more sugar than seems reasonable and then just a bit more. No artificial sweeteners, please.

I guess my answer is "depends."

[zombifier25]

Coffee is definitely my cup of coffee... some pun intended.
And I LOLed at the REDBULL choice.

[speedwell68]

Tea is a much more civilised beverage.

[forrestcupp]

There should be a choice for Pangalactic Gargleblaster.

[MisterGaribaldi]

Tea is an elegant beverage, for a more civilised beverage.

Fixed that for you. ;)

Isn't that a bit like wrapping your head around a gold brick? But yes, I'm all for a PG right about now.

[Lucradia]

Mountain Dew isn't on the list? Forshame. I hate brown sodas.

Also Tea? Nope.

Coffee? Blech.

Red Bull? Rather not.

[Warpnow]

Tea is good.

Dr Pepper is absent from the list as the most glorious form of beverage ever conceived of in the history of time.

[UltimateCat]

A 1/2 a pot in the morning.....I know that's bad; right-
For the rest of the day one cup of tea right after another and another and etc.

Seems we are all hooked!;)

[Warpnow]

Tea - Black and Oolong - 4+ cups a day.

I order tea off of adagio.com, good experience with their stuff so far. Where do you get yours?

[ubuntu27]

Tea of course! A fine gentleman should be drinking tea :P

I get mine from The Republic of Tea (http://www.republicoftea.com/) and Harney & Sons (http://www.harney.com/index.cfm).
I have been very happy with both of them over the last 10 years.
I will have to check out adagio.com, I have never seen that one before.

[wolfen69]

Decaf tea actually still has a tiny bit of caffeine, about 3-4mg. That's all I get. I despise caffeine for the most part. If you don't use it, you don't need it.

[Old_Grey_Wolf]

There is no caffeine in a Pan Galactic Gargleblaster. Although, it does sound good on a Friday after a bad week at work that I want to forget. :)

[Max Blyss]

I contend continually with my dual addiction to Folgers' Gourmet Supreme Coffee and Coca-Cola Classic.

It's a rough life when you can't get your fix, lol.

[MisterGaribaldi]

At least you're not addicted to Tang-flavored Sanka.

[forrestcupp]

Does anyone drink Sanka? That's some quality coffee, there.

I think that Qalactin Hypermint extract naturally has caffeine in it. :)

[QIII]

Has anyone noticed that you never see Vogons at Starbucks?

[MisterGaribaldi]

No, that's because they all used to work for Joe Muggs.

This may explain why Books-a-Million is no longer in business.

Always hated poetry night there.

[venator260]

Coffee for me, somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 of a pot most days; fresh ground and made at home with no cream or sugar. More if I'm taking a trip after work to start my weekend. I'll sometimes indulge in an expresso based drink if I'm on the road as I haven't found anywhere do brewed coffee that I can stomach. A mocha or latte has a greater chance of being drinkable, although it's not what I would preferr. Yes, I'm picky about my coffee.

I usually have a Coke every other day or so. I'd like to drink less of this, as it's just empty calories and quite a few of them at that.

And I'll have some tea every now and again. I favor Oolong.

[TeoBigusGeekus]

Tea for me (PG Tips). Haven't drunk coffee the last 5 1/2 years.
Also, this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjmiap-uXug&feature=related)...

Considering the effect of a Pan Galactic Gargleblaster "is like having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick", it doesn't seem like it has enough caffeine. :)

Oh, the poetry of the Vogons.

From the book, "Vogon poetry is the third worst in the Universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent, of his poem, Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning, four of his audience members died of internal hemorrhaging, and the president of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council, survived by gnawing one of his own legs off... The very worst poetry in the universe died along with its creator, Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Sussex... in the destruction of the planet Earth."

:lolflag:

[mamamia88]

Coffee for me. Tea is kind of watery in my opinion. Coffee is great no matter how you serve it. Hot, iced, black, lots of sugar, cream. In any carnation you serve it I love it. With tea it's good cold with some ice cubes and a lemon wedge on a hot day or as a step up from water or right before bed but otherwise give me coffee.
