Coffee, Tea or Something Else?

The earliest evidence of coffee consumption appeared in Yemen in the middle of the 15th century.
In 2016 evidence of tea drinking was discovered in the mausoleum of Emperor Jink of Han in Xian which dated back to the 2nd century B.C.
I drink one cup of instant decaf coffee in the afternoon and water the rest of the day. I used to drink a lot of regular tea and herbal tea; but I haven't had any in a long time. When I want a "pop" my soft drink of choice is Diet Classic Caffeine Free Coke (with an orange wedge if I'm at a restaurant).
What about you?

Coffee is definitely one of my vices! I drink at least 2 cups every morning, and will sometimes have more in the afternoon. Otherwise, I do drink water all throughout the rest of the day.

@LindaOHio No, I crash and burn as soon as my head hits the pillow at night.

I limit my Coke to a treat when we have pizza or Chinese or when we eat out.

I either drink a cup of coffee or have a pop. Depends on the time I get up and the weather. I am a Pepper. I love either Pepsi or Dr. Pepper.

@LindaOHio .......I mostly drink Pepsi cause it tastes best in the refill machine at the convenience store.

@LindaOHio I wouldn’t have any room for one of those. I buy mine in bottles.

Sip sip hooray! For the Emperor. That's quite a fact 
I have a cup of decaf in the morning and on occasion I'll go with high-test, lol. During the winter I will indulge with a cup of tea in the afternoon with a cookie or two. I drink Dr. Pepper when I'm in the mood for soda.

My husband lives on Dr. Pepper. Sometimes I think he could take it intravenously.

@MommyOfEli2013 Yes, but it has aspartame. I try to keep my diet sodas to a minimum.

I didn't know tea was first drunk during Han Dynasty. I thought it's way earlier before that. Thanks for the information. 
I like coffee, Chinese tea and herbal tea too. But I might have gastric after drinking Chinese tea, hence I don't often drink it now. For soft drink, I only like the original Coke.

I am a coffee drinker. And I don´t like decaf. I can have tea after some eavy dinners (Lapsang Souchong or Earl Grey) or lemon tea when my tummy hurts.

Tea for me, please. Then more tea. I used to drink soft drinks by the 2-liter container. Now I may drink that much in a week. My stomach feels better for it! I do drink flavored seltzer water from Walmart (just discovered Minty Mojito flavor yesterday!!!). But mainly tea.

I thought coffee was originally from Brazil. Guess I was wrong.

I drink the majority of my coffee in the morning, if I have some later in the day, I try to always drink decaf.

That's good that you don't drink regular coffee in the evening.

I always like 3 in 1 coffee in the morning. I never enjoyed drinking hot tea but iced tea is my favorite. Once in a while I drink colas too

When my life turned upside down I could no longer drink coffee. My husband and I used to drink coffee many different ways even with ice cream, Then he passed on and I have become a tea drinker, Evne the scent of coffee brings tons of memories,

I don't enjoy taking coffee or tea, I just take it cause it is the avaible meal to take for breakfast. I prefer taking juice, it is much tastier.
