I prefer tea myself. It's better for you anyway.

I prefer tea, though I seldom drink hot tea. I do drink iced tea regularly though.

Dang. It seems the majority here by far like tea as opposed to coffee. I guess I'm in the minority. :p

Neither, and this has to do with religion rather.

Being LDS, it is against commandments to drink anything caffeinated. It has to do with the book called "The Doctrine and Covenants". (Or D&C as it is often mentioned.) Think of it as a book written by prophets from the 1800's to the early 1900's, holding their valuable lessons on the Gospel.

Anyways, within D&C it depicts several things we are not meant to consume, one of which is "hot drinks". At the time this meant tea and coffee, which were the only things caffeinated at the time.

So basically, because of religious reasons, I don't drink either. Never have and never will. :)

I'm a historian. I MUST be like that!

This would include Coke and most other soft-drinks as well, doesn't it? In spite of that cup of coffee in the morning it is above all other milk to me. I'm a positive milk junkie with water and orange juice taking the second and third place (in fact I may be drinking more water than milk, but that's mostly for the easy availability at any time).

It's easy. Just get used to living without that little caffeine boost every day and your body will adjust. I personally only drink it when I'm doing all-nighter after all-nighter. I've learned that drinking it all the time makes you dependent on it and that's not a place I want to be. :p

To be honest, I take naps. However, I make sure to do so at certain times of the day. A quick little power nap always helps me. :)

It's easy, just drink a lot of tea, or soda. And I usually sleep most of the day anyway. :p

I sleep enough, if I dont I'm just sleepy the whole day. I mean who cares :p If I think it works I'd probably get some energy drink or something in that direction.

I actually don't like sleeping in so late. All of my writer's group activities take place before I get up and my sister usually beats me to the computer.

MODERATION is the key ;). I have no reservations against coffee. It is not a mind-altering substance (like pot) when consumed in MODERATION; otherwise the stuff makes ya a raging livewire, has recently been shown to have health benefits if taken in MODERATION, and actually helps ya concentrate better on tests if taken in MODERATION and just before and/or during the test (if you're allowed to have drinks in class). My point is, caffeine in moderation will not hurt anyone.

COFFEE all the way! I always have at least 1 in the morning and 1 later on in the day.

And I don't actually really drink coffee to stay awake. I drink it because, well it tastes good in the morning :p

Mmmm, tea!
Good all of the time. Especially when sick. Which I am :(
My mom keeps asking me if I've started drinking coffee yet, and each time I say 'no' she replies 'Good. Don't.' And my dad says he's trying to wean himself off of coffee... So I generally stay away from the stuff :lol Plus I had it once and wasn't fond of the taste, anyways.

I can agree with that! :yes For the last 2 1/2 years I've been pulling all nighters to finish my college work...and I gotta say...coffee is the best thing at 7:30 when you're running on only 3 hours of sleep. :smile
