I also only drink carbonated water, I do not like sodas, they are too sweet.

@porwest - I like bottled sparkling water and it has no weird taste, while the tap water often smells and tastes like chlorine.

@LadyDuck If I drink water, it's only plain water. To me carbonated water just tastes nasty.

@valmnz I agree, I drink coffee since I was a kid and it seems it did not harm. Recent studies say it can help in avoiding senile dementia, so why not to have a good cup!

I must confess that I enjoy coffee and do not really care about the health aspects of caffeine. To be fair, it would all depend on the amount consumed.

My main issue is when I either have to be off caffeine (for a cardiac stress test, for instance) or when I don't drink any for a day. Caffeine withdrawal headaches are horrible. I tend to drink caffeine more in the morning and try to avoid it after about 6 PM so it won't keep me awake all night.

@LadyDuck Generally after 8am or 9am I done with coffee for the remainder of the day. I am usually up around 5am or 530am, so that's still a good potential 4 hours of coffee.

But I try not to drink much Coke too, as it's too sweet.

I don't mind caffeine, I get most of mine from Tea however, I do drink coffee but it is only once in a while.. I Usually have at least 2 cups of tea every night while I am at work. I find that if I drink it after I get home though, I will have a hard time falling to sleep when it is bedtime. So moderation is indeed important.

@LadyDuck that is me in a nutshell. I have learned the hard way with many night of tossing and turning that if I have a cup of caffeine (tea or coffee- sometimes soda although I rarely drink that) late in the day that I will be wide awake when I should be sleeping.. then I might have to take a Benedryl to help knock me out.. but by the time I realize that.. it's too late. lol

I love coffee and heard it is also good for your bones and your brain because it helps stimulates it or something. I imagine if you drink to much it is still bad though.

I always drank tea til my 50s then I changed to coffee. I cannot go without my coffee. If I had to of course, I would have to manage, but I would not want to be around me if I did. I never cared to worry about what science is saying about it, I just drink it no problems. That is great to know now that there are some benefits to it Anna. I like mine not too strong, but definitely have to have the cream and sugar.

I drink coffee, but I'm not sure it's good for me, so I try to have as little of it as I can. Some days I need it to keep me awake through the day though. One hears so many different opinions about what is or isn't healthy that I wish I knew whom to believe.

@Gina145 I wonder why the so called experts always change their mind. In the past eggs were considered healthy, then they said to avoid eggs because they are not good for our health. Now they say they are healthy again, it's the same with the butter. I am convinced that good products in moderation cannot hurt.
