Well we all know that somehow people who either work or spend most of their time with PCs drink Coffee, but since some of you on SR don't like coffee, I was wondering maybe you like Coke.
The thing is they both have caffine in them and i'm tired already, should I drink the coffee my dad just brewed or should I get a cool refreshing glass of coke?

Coffee - well, I hate coffee infact since my last job when all I did was answer a phone and make coffee for 10 people then sit down and answer more phones, coffee seems to be my least favorite drink.
I now that a lot of computer lovers stay up until the early hours of the morning after an early morning and a hard day at work, why do you do it? how do you keep your eyes open? is it your coffee? do you drink it by the gallons? are supermarkets only stocking the stuff because of these kind of people, people who maybe open a jar of Nescafe every day?
well, maybe you like coffee, maybe you think it's doing you good, but yet it's just the heat of the drink that keeps your blood flowing enough to keep you awake?
do you find yourself reaching for the cup everytime you click on a fresh link or discover something you've never notcied before, maybe when your fidling around the back of your pc you have a quick sip to freshen your brain before thinking about something.
Do you rely on coffee, do you think you rely on coffee.
Do you like the taste of coffee, do you drink anything else but coffee during the hours of: 6am - 5:59am?
all these questions they don't need answers.

Coke - mmmm, cool refreshing coke, it's an international drink, American's love it, when Aliens make first contact they will point at a coke sign and we'll have intergalactic peace!
I love sitting out in my garden with a cool glass of coke on my lips, the ice brings the temperature down and my brain goes into a fresh bliss. The Coke doesn't awaken my senses, it makes my throat bubble with joy, my taste buds jump up and down and my lips move into what is known as a smile.
Coke is the young persons drink, you buy it in bottles and cans at school, you get huge cups full of it at the cinema, you have it with your meal at a resturant, unless you lock yourself away in a dark soundproof cupboard you can't get away from it.

conclusion - you don't need them, you need a motivation, if Steven Hawkins produced small cartons of water and manufactured it as a new stay awake cure, if you drank it, maybe it would have the same effect, maybe you could work a little faster, maybe you'd write a little faster, why, you'd even talk a little faster, could you have a water overdose? yes, you'd get so pumped up on water your blood would start circulating around your body, you'd feel the effects, your bain starts to clear and everything seems fine.

thankyou.

Nope - you can buy it for coffee machines, and also in 'instant' granule form - but either tastes gorgeous.

I stopped drinking Pepsi years ago, when a bottle I had that was well within sell-by date tasted vile and made me sick.

I only started drinking it again when I went to Florida in June.

Pepsi tastes more like a 'traditional' cola than Coke does, but I do prefer the taste of Coke.

Oh, and I have *always* been able to tell the difference between them! :-)

I would drink Coke every time. I have heard somewhere that apples are better than coffee at keeping you awake.
