Many of you probably know about this, but for those who do not, I suggest you check out Yerba Mate tea. Its, well, amazing. It gives you a steady line of energy, unlike coffee or RedBull which is very spikey. This stuff is good for you and keeps you rocking (well, writing) strong all day. You can get it any natural food store (Whole Foods, etc) and it doesn't cost much. Check it out and put that coffee down!

Coffee is proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy.
Also, I never drink anything but water while I write. I've found that to be better than any stimulant.

Same here. Well the fact that I don't drink coffee to begin with could have something to do with that.
Try the green stuff
I'll have to look into yerba mate.
Green tea rocks though. Nice bitter taste with endless variations depending on the brand (unsweetened). A steady, low level dose of caffeine - no spike. Full of antioxidants that slow the effects of aging and degenerative diseases.
Green tea - methadone for the caffeine addict.

Okay, so I don't drink coffee any more. But when I'm in the office breakroom by myself, I'll open up the big coffee can and breath in the fumes. Mmm. Coffee.

No idea, but I'm afraid that if I move it elsewhere it'll turn into a political thread (cue billythrilly claiming he'll outlaw tea when he becomes President, right after he nukes Mecca and Damascus and executes all child molesters).

Nice shooting, Reverend. It's like I always say, put a fox in the henhouse, you'll have chicken for dinner every time.

Will do. In the food co-op more than 1x a week. I try to drink water, but I get busy and forget. Like the healthy stuff. I miss good Italian coffee. So sometimes I make a cup here. Excercise helps me stay conscious.If the story is on the go, who needs coffee. It's worse though staying awake to view, read, critique 4 class.
