Since I am just returning from a trip to my local coffee depot (Tim Hortons) I think I can contribute....

I think for me it is more the ritual than the caffeine. I did not start to drink coffee until I was 29, previously only drinking juice or water in the morning. My co-workers would make fun of me as I was the grown adult drinking a juice box....anyway I slowly started to have a coffee here and there and now I have one everyday, sometimes twice a day.

I think I enjoy the taste more than the effect. I won't drink any caffeine after 8pm and rarely have any in the afternoon. I find it upsets my stomach and makes me sluggish. My girlfriend and I stop every morning before work at Tim Hortons and I get a coffee (she does not drink any) but notice that more times than not by mid-morning I've only drank half of it and toss the rest out.

I know it would be a significant savings if I gave up the habit but I enjoy it too much. The little I do consume.

My favourite soda is caffeine free coke which is next to impossible to find locally. I do know that caffeine does effect me as about a year ago I had my first Red Bull energy drink at work and I went nuts! So much energy but man they taste like ass. Have not had an energy drink since really.

Water is natures fruit juice.
