Interesting that most people either drink it daily or not at all.
I would have expected more “sometimes” drinkers. Sometimes I want the taste, less often the caffeine in handy, hot beverage form. But not even close to every day, let alone multiple cups per day.
I see the effect that the caffeine has on people who are already wound too tight about time, and it is not beneficial.
I just recently started drinking coffee in my 50's...I realized I loved various coffee-flavored desserts so..why not coffee? I started drinking coffee when on vacations in Mexico and Hawaii but it only spread from there!
I'm far from an afficianado but I typically have a cup in the morning and at 4:00 or so at the end of my workday. Caffeine never keeps me up...I do refuse to drink expensive coffee drinks.
You are an addict too. You notice others’ addictions, but dismiss your own. I am sure you are addicted to the caffeine in Dr Pepper.
Eh....I seriously can't be worried about caffeine addition...there are so many worse things. Actually, is there proof that caffeine addiction has any negative impact other than a headache?
Do you drink coffee? Any benefits or disadvantages to not drinking coffee? I used to drink coffee when I was in college but it made my stomach rumble so I just stopped drinking it completely.
People used to think both coffee and tea were unhealthy. Now they are both considered good for you. Lots of antioxidants.
The disadvantage of coffee is when you buy the expensive high calorie/fat drinks from Starbucks and other places. Even putting a lot of sugar and creamer in coffee is adding a lot of unnecessary calories, I prefer my coffee black so I can actually taste the coffee.
I never tasted coffee until I was 23 and working my first job out of college. Never drank it daily until I met my wife. She and her family were big coffee drinkers. They would sit around their dining room table talking and drinking coffee both in the morning and after dinner.

I tried it when I was 10 and hated the bitter taste even after my grandmother dumped tons of sugar and cream into it. I tried it again in my late 40's and found it still tasted awful.
I do like caffeine but stick to Earl Grey tea, Diet Pepsi and iced green tea.
I'm 51 now and still dislike coffee so you aren't the only adult who dislikes it.
Hubby and I don't drink coffee. I can't drink it due to the fact it makes me ill, and hubby just never started drinking it and saw no reason to. I'm very sensitive to stimulants so I can't handle the caffeine, and the acid in coffee actually hurts my stomach, and it will make me vomit. I do love the SMELL of coffee, and I like coffee flavored ice cream and liquors.

Perhaps.
In August, the results of a large study - really half-a-million subjects in the UK - was reported which associated moderate daily coffee use with lowered rates of strokes and fatal heart disease:
"Our results suggest that regular coffee consumption is safe, as even high daily intake was not associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes and all-cause mortality after a follow-up of 10 to 15 years," she continued. "Moreover, 0.5 to 3 cups of coffee per day was independently associated with lower risks of stroke, death from cardiovascular disease, and death from any cause."
