....probably kind of true with most foods, but...
I'm down to 1/2 - 1 caffeinated drink per day -- occasionally zero. That in and of itself is cool, but, man. When I do splurge (I've got about 1/3rd of a cup of half-decaf in front of me )... holy crap! this stuff tastes good. And it's just Starbucks coffee from the grocery, so it's not like it's all that amazo-special.
Mmmm.... coffee. (y)
...cigarettes are next to go! (he said for the 1,834,378,874th time). :)

de-caf don't count....;).....but it's true and I find it worth holding out for real coffee made from a real espresso machina by a real barrista.....no 7/E or Kwik Stop garbage for me....it's worth the wait to deny your pallet and save your gut....I had my first Ital iced cup o Joe of the season the other day....almost a semi-seasonal sexual like experience...remeber for every ounce of espresso drink at least 500ml fresh water after,for the sake of your kidneys and your breath.....(y)

Lord, I drink over two gallons of water a day, most days. Not a problem.
But, yeah -- I won't drink industrial coffee. Starbucks house coffee is as low as I go. Kind of like bad beer. Hell, I'm an alcoholic, and if all that's around is Budweiser or PBR, I won't even drink it. It's just not worth it.

I heart Max. I even have a personal letter from him, bless his heart. (y)
for some reason i've stopped drinking coffee this year. i don't even know why, i didn't even really make a conscious decision to do it, coffee drinking had never even been an addiction for me. i used to have one large cup of dunkin donuts in the morning and that was it, and i enjoyed it, but for some reason i've just stopped drinking it this year.
which is weird, because if anything i need MORE coffee. every day i have a class at either 8:00 or 8:30, and i'm usually at school for 10-12 hours a day. i couldn't possibly begin to explain why i stopped. but whatever, it saves me like $10 a week

After college, I suddenly stopped for no conscious reason. Didn't have a cup for about two or three years. But there was still caffeine in my life, you betcha.

i make myself about 12 ounces most morning before work nowadays. its really the right amount for me, i dont really want or need any more than that. its just eough to get me started and most of the times its mostly gone by the time i get to work so its good timing.
the only trick with it is that its 50/50 blend that i got from mom, so i don't know how much different full on caffinated stuff might end up for me once i get to that
