Hate is too strong a word for me, but I much prefer tea!

Your quite right LB, thinking about it I don't really hate coffee, when it comes down to it coffees never done anything to me. Still don't really like it though

Tea's ok, although I'd never bother going making myself a cup, someone offers me a cup then fine but I'd never think of going boiling the kettle myself.

Maybe its nothing to do with my taste, probably I'm just lazy !!!!!!!!!

I love my cuppa in the morning but can't have it if I'm feeling anxious.

They don't serve anything but decaf here...except in the Activities Room...so, you know where everyone heads the first thing in the a.m.!

I don't understand decaf at all, what is the point of that?

I'm not a coffee hater or anything, but I don't understand why it's such a big deal. Out here in Portland people flip over where they get their morning coffee... if you suggest you're going to the deli downstairs because it's raining, you'll get looks like you said you were going to drink sewer water. I totally don't get it.

I am primarily a tea drinker, preferably black or earl grey, no milk.

I'm very fussy about my tea, so I understand people being funny about coffee!

Is the whole point to coffee not that it has caffiene in it, just the same as the whole point to lager is that it has alcohol in it.

Yes totally. Theres just no point drinking it other wise.

I'm very fussy about my tea, I have to have it with a little milk and half a teaspoon of sugar.

Although I do like the flavor of coffee...ice cream, candy...it's definitely the caffeine fix that's missing in decaf. But, tea actually contains more caffeine than coffee, except the effect is weaker because there's more water used in the brewing.

By the same token, I don't understand people drinking Odoule's, since I never liked the taste of beer and only drank it for a cheap high.

Decaf doesn't taste right either, a bit chemically. And there is nothing fouler than non-alcohol lager - I drank some while I was pregnant - the alcohol equivalent to Diet Coke!

I like diet coke (normal coke makes my teeth feel sticky!) but Ive never tried low alcohol beer, what would be the point. lol

I dont think I ever drank alcohol because I liked the taste.

I remember, back in the days, somebody must have left some low alcohol lager at my house for some reason, seem to remember I used it as a mixer for my vodka !!!!!!!!
