ok i want to know if you drink coffee, how you drink it, and does it make you skitzoid, and then do you even like it if you drink it? I love coffee i have to have some kind of creamer and sugar or its gross and it has to be enough to get the most of the bite of plain coffe out. i cant drink that much b/c i go skitzoid and bounce off of walls I even was cut off one time where i worked b/c it made me to jittery. I cant really have more than one cup and then i hate when it gives me that horrible down felling but i love the taste, does anyone else get skitzoid after one cup/

Oh man alive do I drink coffee. I drink about 5 pots a day no joke. I can go to bed after too. I live on coffee. They have coffee here in NY that states it is espresso. Let's just put it this way Bam, Zoom, Bang and to the moon. My roomie knows don't bother with me until after the 2nd cup or I am grumpy. I love coffee and am so thankful this year on my fast I get to have it. Take away my coffee and I am a bear. Ainge

I do love coffee, and it 'seems' I can't live without it. I use to know a guy who drank espresso by the 20 oz cup (about 4 per day). When his machine broke, he started to drink regular coffee. EEERRR, wrong, he ended up with reeeeaaaallly bad head aches, so bad, he even went to the doctor. After about a week of this, he finally got himself 2 (two) more espresso machines, just in case one broke, he knew what would happen. So, I guess you are lucky you don't drink it so much. I am like Aingealicia, I neeeeeeeeed it every day until bedtime. I am drinking some now.

Coffee was not giving me the pick-me-up that it used to give me, so I stop drinking it. I drink hot chocolate now.

I drink it for the caffeine (plus it's free at work). I used to put creamer and sugar in it, but I now use sugar only. I used to not drink coffee. But then I entered my wild child stage and stayed up way too late on nights when I had to be at work by 7:00 the next morning. That's when I started drinking coffee. It's a habit that has stayed with me (the coffee, not the partying - too many parental duties now!).

yea we all have to grow out of that parting stage (wait some for some reason find time to party even though they have 5 kids dont ask me how i have a step kid and cant really find time to party LOL not like i really want to anymore unless its a suffisicated party) I'm a type of person that luvs my sleep though so if i stayed up to late i usally call in or go in late that was when i stayed up late before work though. but since i dotn work anymore i dont have to worry about that.

Forget oil, coffee is the true black gold! I love coffee. I drink it black, no sugar or other additives. I do however enjoy an occasional tall skim hazelnut latte. I really do enjoy the taste, but I think it is acquired. I hated coffee when I first tried it as a teenager. But over the years I have grown to love it. Unfortunately the caffeine does not have much of an effect on me any more.

i do drink coffee but i don't consider myself a real drinker as i drink only when i feel like it or when i'm with someone who like to have one. I usually like the three-in-one type wherein you just pour into the cup all contents of one sachet add hot water and that's it. It doesn't make me skitzoid or whatever i just observed i tend to get thirsty after having 1 cup of it. Just recently i've read somewhere it is because coffee is said to cause dehydration so you need to drink lots of water especially if you're a heavy coffee drinker.

I have a cup of black unsweetened coffee in the morning to wake myself up. Then I drink tea; but then I am English. If I drink more than three cups of coffee, I have a giant headache. I can't understand people who drink multiple cups of coffee with sugar: that can't be good for you! I quite like the odd milky coffee thngys that they serve in places like Starbucks now and again!

I love coffee, and so does my husband. We drink a lot of it. I love coffee shops, and he used to work in one. We have an espresso/cappuccino maker, a little pot to make Turkish coffee, as well as a traditional coffee maker. We like all kinds of coffee.

I was a coffee drinker since I was 18 not alot to begin with but more and more over the years and very heavy drinker between the ages of 31 to 33.Lightened up after that and began heavy drinking again in my late 40s. I really enjoyed coffee with cream and sugar. I have a sweat tooth. Couldn't stand it black.The only time it made me shaky was when I was 18 and I drank about 6 cups consecitivly. In my 40s I noticed It never kept me from falling a sleep at bed time but I did drink it to keep me awake while driving late at night.Also,when I woke up in the morning I had a hard time being alert until I had a cup. Recently I quit drinking coffee because I realized I was addicted to it and know now that any addiction is not a good thing and I am currently in to being and doing good not harm. When I wake up in the mornings now I'm fully alert without having to have coffee to get me going.

I do drink coffee. The effects of it to me are I keep relax, my digestion is normal, and it gives me a good taste that stay on my mouth. I like it mixing with different ingredients. Like cream, milk, chocolate, mint, foam, etc.

I don't drink coffee. My husband does he drinks a coffe mug in the mornings he has cream and sugar put in his coffee. Be careful drinking to much a guy my husband worked with went to the hospital a couple weeks ago for dehydration and they told him he was drinking to much coffee which is what dehydrated him. He was drinking two pots of coffee a day though.

I can manage a maximum of 2 cups of real coffee a day. More than that and I get dreadful stomach aches. I can manage about 3 cups of instant. However, I much prefer tea and in reality only have a cup of coffee about 11am and that's it for the day. I don't go crazy on the caffeine, but I do have to check that my teeth don't get too stained!

I love coffee, our family is a coffee addict. A couple of years ago, I think I reached my limit because I got jittery, which was unusual. So if I feel jittery I usally take at least 2 weeks off of coffee, after that, its back to coffee in the morning, afternoon and night. Just can't stay away from coffee for too long.
