Caffeine?

[straightXed]

I'm trying to avoid caffeine in most of cases (no coffee and tea only when visiting someone, usually when you go to somewhere in Finland you have to drink coffee or tea), but well, as I don't see it harmful to myself (yet) I'm not very much thinking about it.

England is pretty well known for drinking a lot of tea, everyone at work drinks tea and coffee, people always offer it when i visit people but just because it is such an ingrained social standard you can avoid it. There are a load of caffeine free alternatives, just carry a rooibos tea bag with you when you visit people or something. Unfortunately caffeine being a drug is not really a debatable matter, as for it not causing you harm, well alot of drugs will not cause harm taken in small doses, just food for thought.

Yeah I never really thought about honey being a product of animals. I mean, I knew that it was, I just never really thought about it like that.

did you think about silk?

Nope, its a good thing I am not a vegan. I'd be the most inconsistent vegan ever!

So i recently stopped drinking pop/soda/whatever you call it, coffee and uhh...o yeah energy drinks. Mainly i know the caffeine in those isn't very good for you. And well energy drinks...not good for you at all.

So my question is, would you drink "caffeine free" drinks like, some root beers and sprite?

i love root beer...don´t drink carbonated drinks with sweetener i think the best stuff to drink is some fresh juice or "ordinary" water...

and caffeine is a drug and it can make you dependent on it so i don´t drink it...

That's right. My sxe friends and I would have rootbeer kegs in college. Carbonated drinks and anything that's so sugary isn't good for you, let alone the fact that caffeine is a drug. But occassionally you need to enjoy some sugar. :D

By the by, I too grew up with tons of tea in my house (European grandparents), and still drink at least 2 cups a day. However, there are plenty of herbal alternatives.
