Coffee

[SpiritedMare]

I will only drink coffee from Costa Rica these days. I don't mean to sound like a snob, but there's something different about the way Costa Rica processes their coffee that makes it *much* smoother and less acidic than any other kind of coffee, and it's the only kind that doesn't set off my acid reflux now that I'm older.

I'm mentioning it in the hopes that someone who may also have acid stomach problems and has either 1) given up coffee against their will or b) resigned themselves to suffer for it as a result might see this and give it a try! ^_^

I don't usually drink coffee, outside of the occasional specialty coffee drink, though I do like coffee-flavored desserts. For visitors, I usually keep a couple pounds of the Hawaiian Kona coffee from CoffeeAM. Everyone seems to like it a lot, and it goes nicely in my desserts, so I would recommend that if you don't mind spending more than usual.

I don't drink coffee but I did get pretty addicted to Monster Energy for a while. After a certain event...I had to take a look and tell myself to actually stop drinking it.

I won't ask. That's your own business.

But, you are not the first person to say something like that to me.

One of them gave himself a heart attack after drinking 8 Monster Energies in less than an hour. They lived but it was a near thing.

Energy drinks, coffee, and colas aren't kool-aid. Too much caffeine can kill you no matter where it's coming from.

It's funny but I thought of the same scene when they told me their story!

On the serious side, they were lucky. This guy is one of the fittest people you'd hope to meet. He knew better; but, when you're young you think you're immortal.

yes there is, it's called Monster energy or blood pancakes either works way better than coffee

Blood pancakes? What is that?

While I like to joke about needing the caffeine, the truth is I enjoy coffee. I've been drinking it since I've been 16 and really like the variety we have today compared to our limited selection in the 70s.

COFFEE!!!! that is all

I'm the same way. The only coffee I dislike is Starbucks, believe it or not. It tastes like they burn their beans. It's not my thing. Too heavy. Too acidic.

Drink coffee, do stupid things faster.
Yep, that’s me !

Yeppers!

I’m more of a hot chocolate person

Hot chocolate is awesome! With connoisseur chocolate being a huge thing now, I expect hot chocolate to develop into different varieties just like coffee has.

You know what? I think I'll poke around a bit to find diabetic safe stuff.

yeah, its dangerous. I used to drink 5 or more Bulls a day.

side note: I cant drink coffee because it destroys my digestive process.

so the TL;DR is I drank about 17 of those twist top Monsters in 4 days. I pissed green-ish.

So for about 2 years there was a a guy in my unit wanted me to play WoW with him once he found out that I loved to PvP and I also was good at healing. He wanted to duo arena and he was a Hunter. A four day weekend was coming up for Memorial Day so I caved in and bought the game and a level boost and installed the night before Final Formation. So after Final Formation he stops by my room and drops me off a 10 pack of Monster Energy. We play and do arena and end up drinking all the drinks and get another pack for each of us.

So now it's Tuesday and we are kinda wrecked. Well it's common that after an extended weekend they do random drug screening. I happened to be one of the ones picked. So I pee in that cup and my Sgt looks at it and real quick he is like "WTF is this El'Doran? Should I be worried? What did you do? Are you gonna pop hot?" I tell him I'm good and it was just the Monster. He calms down and after PT he pulls me aside and tells me I look like crap so after ending PT formation just to go back to my room and get sleep. oh and to drink a ton of water. Like a lot of water. Like...drown myself on land amount of water.
