What is the point of coffee if they make it 'decaf'?

[Deja Q]

I want my freakin' buzz!

[UndertheOcean]

1. Yerba Mate gives you a much better buzz!

without the side effects of coffee.

[Chan790]

3. Yerba Mate is awesome stuff

I like the Lemon Mate blend I can buy at my local Wild Oats.

[Deja Q]

8. I don't have a mate. And I suggest Sudafed for your cold!

:spray:

13. Yerba Mate gives you a much better buzz!

Enlighten me. What is this?

[Chan790]

2. Some peeps like the taste and can't drink caffienated beverages...

for example, anybody with a diagnosed serious heart condition.

Cystic breast disease is another reason. Can't give up my mornings with "Joe".

4. same concept as non-alcoholic beer

:hi:

[hellbound-liberal]

9. Non-alcoholic beer is for people who don't want to get drunk but still enjoy taking a leak!

I used to drink it when I quit drinking 13 years ago but haven't had one in years.

Congratulations! That's awesome. I wish I could get my husband to quit drinking! You sound like you have tremendous willpower. What's your secret?

16. I had had a lot of support from my wife (then my wife to be). Since I had a history of

alcoholism in the family, I told her I would quit so she didn't have to worry about my drinking. At the time, I was putting away quite a bit and I just got tired of being addleheaded. I quit smoking two years later on the same day. That was a good bit tougher but I have some good strategies for that if you know anyone who wants to quit. Now, I just need to figure out a way to give up Asiago Cheese bagels and cream cheese from Panera!

5. Because there are some people who like coffee but can't have caffeine.

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. Mmmm... the taste?

And the sensation of drinking something hot? :shrug:



I'm drinking half-caf right now. I don't like to get a lotta caffeine in me.

[mentalsolstice]

7. Sometimes it's just too buzzin'

Sometimes, in the late afternoon, on a cold winter day, I want that latte, but I don't want to stay awake until 4:00 in the morning.

[JVS]

10. Because after 48 ounces of high-caf, I don't feel so great

[Skittles]

14. it makes no g.d. sense to me

not at ALL

[WindRavenX]

15. decaf is proof of satan

Just say no, kids.

[deepthought42]

17. Decaf is the devil's blend...lol

I don't believe in decaf. If I'm gonna drink coffee, even at night, damnit it's gonna be caffeinated!

[edbermac]

18. Regular coffee gives me a burning sensation in my chest.

I have decaf once in a great while for the taste.

[reyd reid reed]

19. I just like the way it tastes...

Love it, actually. I don't drink it for the buzz at all.

:shrug:
