My mom told my brother to go buy her some coffee because she forgot, then he forgot. And now my mom's sad because she has no coffee.

If I go a full day without caffeine, I'll likely end up with a nasty headache. I only drink about two cups of coffee a day, but then I also drink diet Mt. Dew, which also has caffeine.

I don't drink it. Awful bitter terrible tasting stuff! I'm not a person that likes really bitter or sour foods/drinks.


I do drink pepsi and tea, but aside from it slightly raising my blood pressure (and benefiting from that) I don't have any reaction. I can stop drinking caffeinated drinks, and have done so several times in the past, with no headache or moodiness. However.. I'm addicted to the sugar, so I end up snacking and craving sweets instead.

I react just fine, because I don't drink it anymore
I started drinking coffee when I was 17 at one of the diners in NJ. When I moved, I tried drinking coffee at work but I never got to liking it much. Now it seems most coffee makes my stomach "burble" and topsy-turvey feeling.

I stopped drinking coffee a while ago, but when addicted to caffeine (whatever form it comes in - most soda has a lot), most people do get headaches without it!

These days I get really bitchy if I have more caffeine than in a cup of green tea!

I don't drink coffee.. in some sense I do because I drink cappucinnos but am not addicted to them. I just got a $10 gift card to Starbucks from my co worker though. As of right now, I am addicted to Cinnamon Hot Cocoa you can only get at my gas station. But am not addicted to coffee/coffee based drinks in general. If I don't have a soda each day, then that's when things go bad.

I don't drink coffee so I react well without it
My mother will get horrible headaches if she has to go a day without coffee.

I'm struggling to keep it to one cup a day here. If I don't get it in the morning I'm feeling it in the afternoon. If I smell it I'm done for! LOL! DH tells me that I don't have a problem until I'm looking for 3 cups a day... Then I told him about one of our friends (a writer) who has been known to drink 2 whole carafes (sp?) in a day!!

AJ!!! 30 cups!! Woman what are you thinking LOL!!!

I actually have the "problem" that coffee makes me sleepy. So I'm ok with 2 cups but more than 3 and I'm nodding off!

It takes me a bit longer to get moving in the morning without coffee, but I don't think I'm really addicted to caffeine. While I drink several cups a day, half of them are decaf, and the ritual seems to be more important now than the caffeine jolt.

I love coffee b/c of the taste, but I don't have to have it every day and don't really notice a difference when I don't get it.

When I worked, though, it acted as an appetite suppressant and helped me make it until my lunch at 1:30 without being starving. If I didn't get coffee in the morning, I would be starving, almost passing out, by 10:30.

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
If I don't get coffee you can expect me to turn into an evil vemon spewing monster possessed witch from down under and I don't mean austraila! I'm pure 100% evil without that first delicious tstse of coffee laced with baileys chocolate creamer and 2 scoops of sugar! I'm that bad the one and only time I ever ran out of coffee I made bf get up an hour early to go to DD and deal with all the other coffee junkies so I could get a large turbo coffee with extra cream and suagr to last me all day.....lol

Hey no judging peoples lol I don't drink alcohol anymore I need one vice. Smoking doesn't count since bf and I are quitting for new years! (No I am not smoking a cigarette right now.....I said no judging lol)

I LOVE coffee but I try to stick to my 1 cup a day, first thing in the morning. I can be pretty tired and cranky if I don't have it.

I love my coffee in the morning, but I drink it more for the warmth and taste than the actual wake-up befits
I can drink coffee and go right to bed actually
except Starbucks, I drink their regular coffee and I'm wired

I'm mostly just a morning coffee drinker (one or two cups) and it's better not to speak to me until I've finished that first cup.
