I have started to drink less and less coffee. I didn't read some article about it being bad for me or have some health epiphany, I just came to the realization that I drink way too much of it.
I tell this to people at work and they give me the weirdest looks because I am known for not being able to function without it. One thing that has changed has been my schedule. I am working some different shifts and not all of them start at six in the morning. Not getting out of bed at five has helped out. That extra hour of sleep can go a long way. I didn't start drinking coffee for the sole purpose of the caffeine anyway. I did it for the flavor, I like the taste of it. Much like drinking whiskey or scotch. I really really like the taste and flavor of it. The side effects are always a benefit.
Another reason for this is cost. Coffee is expensive! I didn't know that Colombian children's blood and tears were in such high demand that the cost of their efforts would sky rocket. I don't even buy 'that gourmet shit' (watch Pulp Fiction, if you didn't quite get that). I buy Folgers or Maxwell House, whichever is on sale. I could buy cheaper stuff, but what would be the point? I don't want to rot my stomach away on some cheap stuff. If I do, I am going to enjoy it.
With all that said, we will ignore the fact that I brewed a full pot this morning.
