Poll question: How do you consume your caffeine?
I have to be awake all night so half my blood volume consists of coffee (cream & sugar usually).

11. In fact I'd say it's really only us Brits who have a thing for tea.
Mostly they drink coffee on the continent I think.

6. I drink mine black, no sugar, hot or cold--doesn't matter.
It's one of the few flat out addictions I allow myself---and I am addicted.
I start jonesing if I haven't had a cup by noon.

17. It's a drug addict slang term: to jones = to need a fix....
jonesing = to be in the condition of needing a fix

I think it was originally a term used by heroin addicts, but it can be used to define anybody who needs their craving satisfied.

18. I hear that, man
I prefer mine with cream and sugar, but that's just a recent thing. It makes me feel warm inside when my SO takes sips of my coffee, and he only likes it with cream and sugar... lol.

Anywho- If I don't have my coffee in the morning, I become a very whiny bitchy girl. :). I managed to quit smoking, but damned if I will ever stop drinking coffee.

21. Same with me on being an ex-smoker. For years my day started...
with a cigarette and a cup o' joe. They managed to pry the cigarettes from my fingers, but by God they will NOT take my coffee away. ;)

7. I don't drink coffee.
I take a caffeine pill in the morning to wake me up and another at lunch to get me through the rest of the day.

13. The first thing in the morning I have a diet soda.
Morning is the only time I (use? drink? ingest?) caffeine. And I hate coffee.
