still play, though not very often... gradschool has rather limited how much time i can waste online and all the guys in my clan went inactive at about the same time. i hop around with bots to stay in shape and watch all the interesting demos (check out the stuff from escw2005 if you haven't already), but that's aboot it.

You mentioned that it's bad for you? or not good, whatever. You're wrong in a sence. If you drink 2 cups of coffee a day it's actually good for your heart.

As far as why people like it or drink it. I happen to like the taste of coffee. I drink it black with no added crap to dull the taste.

caffiene is bad for the kidneys... it breaks down into something else. can't remember specifics.

2 cups of coffee will not harm your kidneys,, but if you drink more than 2 cups of coffee then you're right it's bad for you.l

I've never understood people who don't like coffee.

The first sips make your entire body tingle with delight! Then the world becomes clear and sharp, and you're totally in control... like some kind of clever & good looking mutant. It's a powerful sensation, but if you overdo it you get the Sickness.

I drink coffee because I like the taste.

If I feel tired, it's more likely because of lack of sleep or low blood sugar levels, so caffeine won't help me there. I have a banana or a nap instead.

I dont need mcdonalds though, i eat there maybe once every 2 weeks and only when i am in a rush. I see people drink coffee every day, whenever they need a "pick me up". In that sense it would be like me eating at mcdonalds everytime i am hungry, which i dont do.

i drink coffee, but am not addicted to caffeine in any way. i don't drink it every day, but i enjoy the taste immensely.

People who stock pop/soda in their fridge need to fuck off.

LOL, no, they should open their fridge and grab some sort of fruit. They will welcome the change once they realise they arent completely fucked up half of their day.

Judging by your email address and IP block, I'd say you work for an American company.
