Coffee drinking

I just love drinking coffee. For me that's the way to really wake me up in the morning. Sure some may say, that , that is just a force of habit. A mug of coffee in the morning , doesn't really wake me up in fact after a few hours I would be sleepy again.LOL!

So here we go. What is it with coffee? I mean I know out there , some tea drinkers would disagree with me on how great coffee drinking is. I am not even going to try to make this entry all scientific by going into the components that has made coffee and tea so addictive. Being a coffee drinker, I do not have cups of tea or tend to buy tea bags except for green tea though. However, I do not have green tea religiously as I do with coffee.

Once at work, I will have one more cup of coffee at about 10am and another one (maybe) at about 2pm. Though my afternoon cup of coffee session is not set in stone. I can say that at most I can go on without 3 days without having a cup of coffee , once that 3 days is up I will feel like I've lost the will to live. :)

Below are the pros and cons of coffee drinking. Again I'm not going into details, as there are a vast amount of sites online that you can read more about it which are better as it is from certified experts. Me? I'm just a coffee lover :)
