I can't handle nutrasweet, I would rather be largely (is that a word?) endowed all over my small-boned body than eat or drink that bizarre and slightly off tasting chemical :-)
Now highly-caffinated coffee is my absolute favorite addiction. I think of it as an american tradition that has proven wholesome and good for your body. Quite the driving force in our culture and such a wonderful way to socialize.
All those AA meetings, the hazy smoke-filled air, the chain smokers hacking as they light another one, the bitter burnt coffee that everyone is guzzling with shaky hands and haunted eyes and they wondered why we were still struggling to stay sober (HA!). Really though, what a great liquid, I can drink it every which way this side of the Mississippi.
It would really take an incredible amount of will-power to quit drinking it and at this point it's not worth it to me. That's not to say it won't be someday but I truly do enjoy the piping-hot mud colored liquid with it's amazing healing powers and it's anti-sleep-deprivation properties.
