I don't drink coffee, but i wonder why lots of people loves drinking coffee, even at work...but i like the smell of it's aroma...i have a friend who really loves to drink coffee, believe it or not, she would drink coffee three times a day...and she would feel sick and sad if she would not drink coffee and have missed it...it happened one day at work, when she told me that she had forgotten to drink her coffee that morning, she said that she's not really feeling well, and that she feels sick...so we gave her a cup of coffee, thank GOD, it made her feel better...she really loves to drink coffee, and a lot of people do, which made me really wonder...
So out of curiousity, i sipped a cup of coffee one morning...guess what, i just can't sleep that night...and it's so terrible, i'm awake the whole day...so i decided not to drink coffee anymore...i would rather drink milk like i always do in the morning...
I've heard that there are some disadvantages when you drink coffee...but still, even if there are some disadvantages about it, i can still see people drinking coffee...i think maybe because they are used to it, you know, drinking coffee every morning...
So, do you like drinking coffee? Is it good to drink coffee or not?

I myself am an avid coffee drinker. I pretty much drink it every single day of the week. And I am one of the people that the cafine does not affect me. I could drink a cup of coffee right before bed and have no problem sleeping. The good thing about coffee is that it is a very good anti oxident, but you need to make sure that you stay hydrated. On days where i drink a whole pot bt myself i find myself dehydrated and in need of water.

Coffee is a stimulant and its sole purpose is to keep you awake.
People drink it in the morning in order to wake up. They drink it during the day to stay awake if they feel tired.
If you never had coffee... it is likely to do strange things to you. But for someone like me... who has been drinking coffee since the age of 6... it has very little effect on me. A cup of coffee only keep me awake for one hour. I can drink coffee right up to the time I go to bed.
If you drink a lot of coffee... like 10 cups a day... it can damage your kidneys.
But so can most soft drinks like Coca Cola... as they are full of caffeine. If you drink Coca Cola and not Coffee... you are just kidding yourself.
Coffee is also supposed to be bad for those people who have anxiety disorders... as it stimulate their anxiety.

hello there to U...thank you for sharing wonderful informations about coffee...i really do appreciate it...yes, drinking coffee keeps you awake like what happened to me, the day when i tried drinking coffee...wow, you've been drinking coffee since the age 6...i've never drink coffee during my early age, just now that i'm 23...well, good for you, because it has very little effect on you...to me, i can't really sleep, and i'm awake for the whole day, it's my first time drinking coffee though...
Yes, i do agree that Coke contains caffeine too just like coffee, i've stopped drinking Coca Cola way back when i was still in college...our teacher told us all the bad effects of drinking sodas...i just drink orange juice since then...drinking milk is good too...yeah, i do agree, drinking coffee too much is not really good for your health...there should be moderation...thanks really for sharing...i've learned a lot from you...have a blessed, beautiful day to U...may GOD BLESS U & UR family always!!!

My state (Karnataka) in India, tops in growing coffee seeds and by habit people of the state are great coffee drinkers. I too love to drink coffee, atleast 3 cups a day and I had not gone into checking whether the coffee is good for health or not. I love fressh roasting of seeds, fresh ground, freshly brewed coffee which I get 4 times a month and rest of the time, it is direct use of the powder for preparing the decoction. Unlike in the west, most people drink coffee by mixing sugar and milk (liquid) to the tast. Black coffee is not much seen here.

i used to drink coffee then i stopped because i had jitters. but i would drink once in a while, especially socially, when i have to be coffee shops with friends. then, i decided to stop completely because i wanted to get pregnant. but until now, i am not yet pregnant and so i got back to drinking coffee, at least half a cup a day just to get me boosted with energy. but i can't take coffee at night, too, even coke or tea, because that would keep me speeding until really late. so the most i can drink coffee is around 2:30pm, that should keep me awake until i am suppoosed to sleep. lol

drinking coffee is good for me.
at least 2-3 times a day. I feel something lost in a day without have a cup of coffee.
my wife also like coffee, but in the modern way. mix it with milk and mocha, chocolate for 1 glass per day. When she's pregnant and lactating she is still drink coffee too.
Maybe it just a suggestion to feel sick if we don't drink it.

I think everything is OK in moderation. A lot of people drink coffee because they are addicted to the caffeine in coffee. I dirnk lots of coffee but caffeine is NOT the reason why I drink it. I only like the taste of coffee, and I don't drink enough for the caffeine to have any effect on me. I just like the taste of the stuff.

Hi there angeljenn! I drink coffee everytime I am invited by its aroma. I am not a regular coffee drinking. I just can't say no when I smell it. I used to be addicted to coffee when I was seventeen though. Just like your friend, I drink it three times a day. Yes, even in lunchtime.
I think that just like everything else, it would not be that bad if you drink coffee in moderation.

Coffee provides more that morning jolt. That steaming cup of Java is also the number one source of antidioxides in the US diet, according to a study made by the students of the University of Sactron. They're study was described today at the 230 national meeting of the American Chemical society, the world's largest scientific society.
