This is kind of a question as a result of another thread.....

[a kennedy]

could you give up coffee or alcohol?? or neither, or both?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Coffee? NEVER.

I drink one or two glasses of wine a year, so giving that up would not be a problem.

But you will never get me to stop drinking coffee!

[olddots]

2. sure could

it's easier for me to stop something than start something , a lousy trait I'd like to get thru .

[lastlib]

3. COULD I? give up coffee Yes, absolutely!

WOULD I? If you can possibly pry the Folger's canister out of my cold, stiff, clenched dead fingers, I will rise from my grave and take it back. IOW, Hell, NO!


alcohol is not a factor in my existence. Coffee IS my existence!

5. I travel with my coffee grinder, coffee pot, bottled water, beans.

4. I have. I don't want to so I won't.

No problem.

6. Instead of giving up coffee

I just quit putting sugar and cream in it. So it's not quite as bad for me but I still get my caffeine. I also think now I appreciate good coffee more. I don't ever buy good coffee, but I appreciate it. I doubt I would ever be interested in quitting it.

I could easily give up alcohol. I sometimes go weeks without having anything and then I'll go 2 months of fairly often weekend drinking but even during drinking season I rarely drink more than a couple beers or drinks at a time...I bought a 12-pack of Grolsch 3 weeks ago and still have 9 left. I do love happy hour at Azteca on Sundays though. Good Mexican food and 24oz draft Negra Modelos 2-4-1 all day.

7. I don't drink either, so no problem.

I switched to decaf for awhile and then got tired of it. I don't miss it. In fact, I can't stand the smell of coffee anymore.

[rurallib]

8. ditto - quit drinking long ago

and drink caffeine free pops - so what do I win?

[IrishEyes]

9. I never drank either.

I did give up soda for Lent once. It was no problem.

[agracie]

10. I love my coffee - the hotter the better...

wouldn't want to give up my coffee...


I like to sip on Bailey's over ice from time to time, but I could do without.

[harmonicon]

11. I COULD, but why on earth would I?!

As organisms, we really don't need that much, but I'm glad to have things like coffee and wine. They're delicious, good for me, and make me feel better.

[HeiressofBickworth]

12. I've pretty much done both

I quit coffee quite a while ago and just drink tea. I have champagne every New Years Eve but the last two NYE, I've forgotten, so I guess I don't drink alcohol at all either. I don't have anything against either coffee or alcohol, but I just don't drink them.

[Major Nikon]

13. I don't have very many vices left

Im sure as hell not going to give up either one of those.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

14. If I had to, I could give up both...

but I wouldn't like it one little bit.

[union_maid]

15. Don't drink either one

I'm a tea drinker who doesn't drink alcohol. Never did like it much once I was of legal age, and eventually I just decided to stop trying to like it. When I was underage, it was lots of fun, though.

[Moondog]

16. Yes, to both.

Have done so in the past.

I wouldn't be happy about it, but I can do it.

[LiberalEsto]

17. Gave up both many years ago

Didn't want to quit drinking coffee, but my tummy couldn't handle it any more.

[Arctic Dave]

18. I could give up both.

As long as you don't touch my meth and mouthwash .

[NV Whino]

19. I did both when I had a medical disaster

Gave up tea, too. That was the hardest.

Four years out, I drink all in moderation.

[nolabear]

20. Alcohol, yes. Coffee? From my cold, dead hands.

The fact that coffee is generally benign and has no calories is the closest thing to getting me to believe there's a loving God.
