Are you a mocha soy latte type of gal? Non fat cappuccino? Just plain cuppa?

Plain Jane, black coffee. I'm a regular joe and I like my joe regular!

For religious (and other personal reasons as I think both are gross) I don't drink coffee or tea. But i have recently discovered Mtn Dew. (And now I'm not allowed to have any past 9:30 pm)

I like a modest amount of cream and just a little sugar. Not too much, but a little is nice.

With milk (why would you put cream in), no sugar - I'm sweet enough.

I don't do caffeine for health reasons. I gave it up years ago and now even just a little bit makes me sick.

If you don't mind me asking, I'm simply curious, but isn't Mtn Dew and other caffeinated beverages also forbidden by the same rule that bans coffee and tea? I've fallen out of touch with the Mormon friends I had years ago, but I seem to remember them not drinking any soda at all. Or do you let yourself have it as an exception?

Again, I'm just curious. I'm in no way judging your choices. I, myself, love shellfish and I occasionally eat some bacon.

As the other person with the unusual religion I'll leap to Kinkey's defense against your BLISTERING cavalcade of questions (I'm joking). Hot, stimulating beverages are frowned up in Mormonism, though some sects ban cold ones, as well.

Thanks to our having Andy Reid as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles I know a few things.

Black for me, no milk or sugar needed. Or if the occasion calls for it, a drop or two of whiskey.  :P

Some people interpret it like that (my parents included.) though some don't. There's no hard and fast rule there except to use your best judgment.  But we are advised to stay away from coffee and tea, as those can be addictive.

What? It has to do with the temperature of the beverage? I had not heard that one before. I thought it had to do with the caffeine in the beverage being considered an addictive drug.

Oh okay. I was curious and wasn't sure about that, but I know that Mtn Dew has a ton of sugar and caffeine in it, so I was a bit confused why one might be considered okay but the others not be.
