I don't drink coffee, some black tea once in a while, but generally I avoid caffeine in all forms. I'm allergic to chocolate and artificial sweeteners so cocoa and diet pops are out too. I don't care for sweet drinks or carbonation. My favorite beverage is an iced tea I make with herbal tea bags. Fruity without being sweet. That or good old H2O. Oh yeah.. and a nice icy shot of Stolies once in a while doesn't hurt either.

Some of the guys and girls on my shift would take coffee iv if they had the oppertunity!! I don't slice my wrists if i don't get it, and refuse to consume instant coffee, as i think there is not much difference in the taste of the and cat ur.... I do however everyso often go and appropriate a cup of filter coffee from the managenent offices!

We actually set one of these up as a joke. IV pole, Solution bag slit down the side, emptied and filled with coffee beans. Tape it up with that clear packing tape, attach the tubing, fill the tubing with coffee. Voila! We since have done another one with chocolate (tubing filled with chocolate syrup)

A day without coffee is like a day without sunshine, just crappy! I love coffee, can drink it anytime of the day and can't start a shift without a cup. I even have a mug that everyone swears is jinxed. If I start my day with that mug we are in for a long, busy, day.
I also try to drink water to help dilute all the wonderful java.

I don't drink coffee.....I drink starbucks.....everyday for the past 2 years, it's gotten to the point where I walk in and they're already making my drink because they saw me in the parking lot.

Coffee is coffee no matter what you add to it nor whether it comes from four bucks or not. Your venti frapp blah blah just happens to be mind boggling expensive coffee.

I love Bill Maher's comments on the frappa fru fru drinks. He says, if your coffee comes with chocolate, whipped cream, sugar, syrup and a piece of candy on top, its not coffee, its a milkshake!

I'm not even an EMT yet and I drink an average of 1 pot of coffee a day.....that's down from 3 pots a few years ago :p I've been trying to cut down to 1/2 a pot, but it's not easy to give it up.

Oh, and I don't add a thing to it. Give it to me as dark as you can get it, and keep it coming till my hair stands on end!
