There is a lot of young kids drinking coffee these days

[Adam]

Like 8-9 years old. Tweak!?! I wish I had the foresight to get wired that way when I was a kid instead of using glue and aerosols.

good news to old, short people everywhere(y)

[na§tee]

[Nuzzolese]

They're busy! They have little jobs to go to, with their inflatable briefcases.

[na§tee]

I blame T4 for blanket 'FRIENDS' re-runs(n)

[ScarySquirrel]

Seriously? I haven't seen it yet.

I just started drinking coffee about two weeks ago. I never liked it before, gave it another try, and now I dig it. Just one cup a day though.

I just started drinking coffee about two weeks ago.

Hence, the name of this thread.

[Waus]

Blech.

I made a pseudo pact with my wife - I learn to like coffee and she learns to like beer.(y)

Is it wrong to have coffee when you're young? I used to have it maybe a couple of times a week when I was growing up...

[funk63]

It'll stunt your growth! I was told..

[b i o n i c]

my mom used to sometimes make me coffee when i was little and i'm 6'. id probably be seven feet tall if it wasnt for her... asshole

[jabumbo]

coffee used to give me bad shits when i would drink it during the high school years


now i drink it most mornings and it keeps me regular (y)

[MC Moot]

Yeah Ma used to say it stunted the growth...so we weren't served it till early teens,really,and the it was cafe con leche...sometimes if we wanted to feel adult and sit at the table with dad and granpa she'd make us ovaltine or hot choc,cause she ruled...however we were allowed 1/2 glass of red wine,mixed with water,with dinner and brandy for the onset of a fever...that was fine from the age of about 7 and up...stimulant vs depressive...I think she made the right choice...made getting us to bed a wee bit easier,I'd bet...:rolleyes:

[Adam]

first I've heard of coffee stunting growth is in this thread.

So I did some investigation (or asked google) and it said caffeine can stunt growth but the evidence is not compelling and mainly bullshit.

But kids drink fizzy drinks with caffeine in, seems a shame to blame coffee when other drinks has so much sugar in it which has far more health related problems.

caffeine gets you wired like sugar can't imho. So I was admiring the kids choice of poison mainly.

I love coffee - I'd be clinically dead without 2 litres of the real stuff a day - seriously.
