Coffee and tea are adult beverages?

I would say they used to be thought as such.

I think youth/teenagers commonly drinking coffee is a relatively recent phenomenon (last 20-30 years).

Tea and alcohol.
I absolutely hate coffee. Even the smell of it.
It brings back memory's of teachers coffee breath.
The unexpected coffee sweet hidden amongst the good flavours.

I drink tea every morning and often espresso in the afternoons, and alcohol a few times a week (mostly wine these days).

Well coffee maybe, I probably didn't start until I was 15 or 16. But tea was always ready when I came home from school. My 3 year old niece drinks it.

But to answer the question, I enjoy coffee too much, and I'll settle for tea occasionally. No alcohol.
Title: Re: Adult Beverages

I used to hate hot drinks...but they have definitely grown on me.

I drink coffee pretty much every day (diluted with some kind of milk is obligatory), tea on occasion, and alcohol rarely.

In fact, I think the last time I drank booze was nearly two years ago (when pub crawling with Meri and RH).

Coffee, coffee, alcohol, and tea, in that order.
I use a French press and order the 2 pound bags from Manatee coffee and Ravens Brew Coffee. I probably drink too much, but I really like the taste.

I like all three, but drink coffee (copiously) daily, alcohol weekly, tea...when the mood strikes me. I always keep a can of loose tea in the kitchen because sometimes brewing a pot hits the spot, but it isn't in my rotation of regular drinks. Also while I almost exclusively drink coffee black, I find tea palatable only with a bit of cream + small amount of sugar.

Coffee and Alcohol.

I drink Tea when I have no choice; while I won't say I hate it I find the taste to be mildly distasteful.

Daily good quality tea, mainly dark blends and Kenyan, quite a lot of instant coffee mornings and evenings.  :)

Alcohol rarely, last drank at Xmas/New Years; I've some nice Weston's I really must open before it goes off.

I don't drink coffee and tea. As for alcohol, I don't like wine and booze. And I drink beer 2 or 3 times a year. For example, I drank alcohol for the first time in 2021 a few weeks ago.

Almost every day coffee, alcohol regularly but in small amounts, tea very rarely.

5 or 6 cups of tea a day. Coffee once or twice a week. Far too much wine and beer.

Eventually everyone stops drinking alcohol (admittedly, some not until just before their death).  Languish is generally of an age now that several of us have had to confront either health issues or alcohol management issues by this point, so it's not too surprising that there's more than one teetotaler.

I definitely drink a lot less than when I was younger.  But give up the pleasure of a great wine or stout - nope.

Non. Buveur d'eau is an insult over here.  :P

I enjoy drinking alcohol but I am really relieved there is no longer a social expectation to at least get buzzed at every party. I usually just want one drink.

Getting old is nice in some ways.
