I rarely ever drink coffee... but I have a feeling once I get to college, caffeine will be my best friend.

Coffee!

No one sleeps on here. So, who else here is a caffeine addict? How many cups do you average? Black? Milk and sugar? Mocha? Do you make your own? Go to Starbucks? Peets? Your local coffee shop?

I'll start. I average 1-1.5 cups a day, always have one cup at home, and often have a second cup from whichever coffee shop is closest, cheapest, and best. I usually drink black coffee, but I love mochas. (I just don't like paying for them, so I make my own.)

I LOVE the mocha iced coffee in the refrigerator section of the grocery store. Now that stuff is addictive.

Don't drink coffee. I find it gross and the caffeine messes up my body. Tea is much better

For me, a white chocolate peppermint mocha will get me going!
Sadly, the nearest Starbucks to get it from is around 30+ miles away...
So now I either get a caramel frappe or a vanilla latte from McDonalds (haha, I know) or I just get some some energy drinks.

I couldn't drink coffee black! Too bitter. Either way, I kind of load mine down with sweetner or flavorings Oh, and caramel mochas are bomb!

ERMAGERD. I love coffee. I really do. I didn't have some this morning and I barely functioned. I had to go and get and Iced Capp.
I like coffee with cream and sugar. I don't like most of the flavors that people put in coffee, I feel that they just taste fake. I do like vanilla every now and then.
And tea is okay. It's not the best but I can have a cup with my grandmother is she wants to.
But college, I swear I will buy caffeine pills because I already stay up late with homework now.

Lol caffeine pills. One of my friends had a quintuple expresso before giving a presentation on 3 hours of sleep. Didn't go well.

UKgirl: You realize that tea also has caffeine, right?

Yep, but very little. 4 cups is enough to keep me awake for a few hours when I'm babysitting...

Even black tea is like, 1/6 cup strong coffee. Or, at least, weak American tea. I hear it's better in Britain.

Caffeine is gross. xP
LEMONADE ALL THE WAY.... even though it doesn't have caffeine.
I dunno. I've been getting by without drinking caffeine, and I'm still fine. On school nights I usually get 4 hours of sleep, but then I have some days where I just nap for 4 hours throughout the day so I don't ever die on myself.

I like coffee ice cream though hehe.

Very rarely ill have a frapacino from the market.

But speaking of coffee one of my friends (she's the cute head cheerleader and really liked but she's awkward and eccentric and really funny) decided to go around assigning people "coffee names" based on their skin color. I didn't realize how many different coffees there were until she started naming off Carmel mocha, Carmel vanilla, mocha mint, etc. (I'm Caramel and she's Carmel vanilla btw). She wasn't being racist, she's just weird. It was really funny lol.
