When did you start drinking coffee?

[jenderfazz]

When did you start regularly drinking coffee as part of your morning-routine/to help you wake up?

I started this summer, feeling tired from staying up late and going out a lot around late July/early August. I'll be starting school tomorrow and it'll be my first semester actually drinking coffee regularly. (although I abused green tea throughout my second year of college )

I'm just wondering what led to that point. Was it always a morning-thing? Did school push you to drink coffee/caffeine to stay focused or pull all-nighters? Or did the 9-5 work schedule drain you until you began sipping some in the morning?

I feel like MM right now.

when I was 11.

I don't anymore, as for some odd reason, I'm un-affected by caffiene

 

[Rune Bivrin]

I started at two, my parents tell me. I have no reason to doubt that. I'm usually on 8-12 cups/day. But no effect whatsoever, apart from headaches when quitting.

I'm just a junkie, that's all.

I started drinking coffee at 6 but it wasn't to wake up.
My grandparents watched me during the summer and I tried their coffee and liked it ever since.

Probably when I was 15 and began preparation for my GCSE exams....I needed the caffeine to survive the coursework and assignments we had to do.

I don't drink coffee and I never will. I don't like taste or the smell.

To get up/as part of a morning routine? I guess never.

Casual drinking... 11-12?

As part of the morning routine - junior year of high school. There was a Nathan's Deli across the street from the school and several of us students would make that the first stop before hitting our lockers!

But when I was a kid my mom used to make me what she called "special coffee" which was a splash of coffee mixed with milk, a little sugar and a drop of vanilla extract. Yummmmmm........

Black coffee from the age of three at the hands of my grandma and aunties...
...gotta have it in the morning....three or four cups usually does me...

....otherwise....I'm like this.... ....and this..... ......and this.... ....and folks around me are like this.....

 

[freakonaleash]

About 14 because I liked the taste. I can't drink it too early in the day, but it's a good afternoon pick-up. I love to make a cafetiere with Douwe Egberts ground coffee, 2 cups of it is just right.

 

[jsbass]

Every morning since 14.

BTW, I can't have more than a cup-and-a-half in a sitting or I'll get a migraine....
