I just drink tea.. but I do drink it everyday.. in the morning.. during the day.. and in the evening.. I would guess 3-4 cups a day of tea, my favourites are chai, and red rose. always with milk.. no sugar.. sometimes honey.

I don't know if I'm addicted or not.. I consider tea comfort food (or drink).. so warm and yummy, it helps me relax..

coffee I do consider bad.. it makes my insides feel wonky. I only drink it when I'm desperate for a pick me up.. but usually become very jittery as a result.

for me.. tea is better than coffee

Regular coffee, non-flavoured, but usually a rare estate bean, french press and not only home-made, but home-roasted. We buy green beans and roast them ourselves ( ... )

Wow, home-roasted! I'd never heard of that before, very cool! Do you just roast them in the oven?

No, we've got a little counter-top roaster that does about a cup of beans at a time. Enough for two or three days worth of coffee.

Alternatively, you can brush butter onto the raw beans and roast them in your oven on a cookie sheet... we have this book of archaic English recipes that has the specifics, if anyone is interested...

I usually drink regular drip coffee, homemade. Sometimes at school, I will buy coffee, and sometimes as a treat I will have a latte. I don't have a coffee ritual. Some days (most, these days) I don't drink coffee at all, and others I'll drink three or four cups. I get shaky if I haven't had coffee for a long time and I drink too much. This summer I got addicted to coffee while I was working full time in the library, and withdrawal from that brought on monster headaches, but usually no. Coffee never gives me stomach aches. I don't think I'm addicted to coffee now, or else I would need it, rather than enjoying it every now and then. I think it's totally okay in moderation.

yes of course, I do drink coffee. I drink regular coffee, I brew it at home, but I love to buy it casue it means I haven't had to make it. I don't enjoy making coffee.

I like the ritual of drinking coffee or tea while watching a movie. or chatting with a friend.

I get shaky off caffeine after the third cup, or second if I'm buying it out (they do make strong coffee)

Stomach aches? No, but I feel bloated.
nope, I'm not addicted. Sometimes I just don't feel like having coffee that day. So I don't.

Okay in moderation. It's prooven that one strong sup of coffee before eating in the morning helps to go #2 (heehe) , also, one strong cup of black coffee per day will prevent wrinkles, as well as help open up your lungs if you're having a asma attack or having difficulty breathing.

yes, we should talk on the phone soon. give me a call when you get back to montreal? w has disappeared, but i'm probably getting more work done without him anyway. glad you're having (or will have) a nice cozy time with mikey... i can totally relate to the hours spent in the library working on a biblio assignment, oy. and j made his own wine?! neato! that's something i'd like to do sometime, make wine. xoxo.
