Coffee

I abhor the taste of black coffee, and have seen how dependent people are on it (see: my mother and several close friends) that, as much as it would be nice for the "energy boost" here or there, I'd like to not drink it so frequently I NEED a cup or two just to get up in the morning. I haven't read all of the science behind it, and am sure it's like some alcoholic beverages, in that there are some good health benefits from drinking small, daily amounts in moderation, but I'm more for 100% guaranteed good things for you like tea and vegetables. That being said, I'll drink it on occasion if it's mixed into lots of tasty things (like flavored creamers or the Starbucks Frappuchino), or, like Kurtle, if it's "one of those days" and I can't survive without it.

Those are so few and far between though that I just drink tea. Tea, tea, tea. So good for you and so good .
