Good call GL posters! It's too expensive to waste gambling dollars unnecessarily! You know how much of a markup there is on coffee? Big profit margin! Plus who know's if they do this afterwards?

I envy your coffee consumption Muddy.

I have a cup of coffee about once a month.

 

[Mudcat]

Oh I'm enviable alright.

I'm enviable right up the wazoo.

I think I would rather drink urine than coffee. I very much dislike the taste of it.

All these recovered alcoholics/druggies love their caffeine and nicotine.


I guess it's alright to be an addict if it's legal?

Is that the thought process, Muddy?

For the uninitiated, Tim Horton's Extra-Large cup holds 750ml of liquid.

4 XL coffees = 3 litres, or 0.8 US gallon.

That's a lot of coffee.

I would definitely puke after drinking that much.

Americans drink 440 million cups of coffee a day. It's amazing.

I stopped drinking coffee in April, but started back up again in August. I drink about 6 cups per day (but it fits in 2 mugs, so that makes it okay). There are several health benefits to coffee. I choose to believe that I'm being healthy.



Don't tell me how bad it is. I know it is. I'm just in denial.

I only drink coffee when I'm on a trip and the coffee addicts want it to start their day. We comprimise with irish car bombs.

Regardless I'm not a fan of becoming reliant on anything except for the sun rising tommorrow.

I drink a cup every day. Hot in the winter but cold in the summer.

Hi, my name is Cami and I am addicted to coffee.

My thought process is I love coffee so I drink it. Except when I stop. That's about as deep as it goes for me. I don't smoke. I quit in 1991.

You use the words, "It's alright." "I guess it's alright to be an addict if it's legal." I don't know what you mean by that. My coffee drinking is definitely alright with me. If you are talking about it being alright with something else, I would need to know what to comment intelligently.



Now there are some interesting deeper discussions that can come out of that. I remember when I was immersed in certain recovery meetings and I got to knowing the regulars very well, I would be sitting at tables where I knew over half the people were on prescription drugs - while still claiming to be sober and accumulating their sobriety time. And they really believed it btw. There was no sense of cheating and deception.

And many of the other people would be cheerfully, openly consuming coffee. If you asked them if they were going to change their sobriety date because of the drugs they were taking at that moment they would think you were nuts.



Again the question: is that alright?

And here's the answer: sure, I guess.

3 litres.

I remember a time when I drank rye and Fresca. At room temperature. I don't know how things got to that point; it's not like I would have purposely gone out and bought Fresca. But I guess one thing led to another and I got stuck with some Fresca at some point but then lo and behold, I turned around and liked it. And so I kept buying it and, for an intermediate length of time, that was my drink. Rye and Fresca. Room temperature.




3 liters is a lot.

Jeez. Now, that's a lot of coffee.
