I know............ that's pretty bad isn't it.
I was too afraid to do the math.
I'll seek help.

I usually drink coffee in the morning and that is it. I will normally have 2 or 3 cups. I think most things we do or eat is all right, if done in moderation. I don't drink much coffee in the summer. I wonder if hot tea has the same amount of caffeine as coffee? I used to be a big tea drinker.

Tea is much better in this regard. Black tea has 50 mg of caffeine per cup; while green tea has only 30 mg of caffeine per cup. Green tea with jasmine is my personal favorite.

But to be a BBR you have to drink Coffee. It has to be black and 2 days old.

I put soooo much sugar in my coffee you'd think it was hot chocolate. I even refuse to order coffee at places with the packets and not the pourer cuz I use so much....... I did however STOP drinking soda about 10yrs ago and that has made a HUGE difference (tho now I just make up for it in beer when I'm home LOL)

I have decided to make a new years resolution, which I think I will stick too cuz i'm on a health kick and trying to get back into shape since this last year or OTR has taken it's toll and added about 40lbs..... so no more beer and coffee, just iced tea and water. We will see how it goes.

I guess I'm not a BBR , no coffee for me and I shower regularly! I used to drink A LOT of MT Dew (6 pack) a day but have switched to diet Dew and limit that. I love sweet tea but have cut that out too, being good is no fun at all

I quit soda cold-turkey and only drank tea (had to have some caffiene cuz the headaches were terrible) but I dropped 30lbs in a month. Try it and you will be amazed too!!

Well I am one of the most politically incorrect individuals regarding coffee. I have two and sometime three thermos' of coffee a day, year round. Been that way for over 30 years and see no reason to stop now. If I worried about all the things some interest group said was going to harm me, the worry would shorten my life more than the things they say I should worry about.
