This morning, as I sat at my desk looking at the container of hydric acid with the dissolved 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine alkaloid, awaiting the psychoactive stimulant effect to occur, I was pondering the impact that its ingestion has had on civilization.
Personally, I drink tea. Sometimes green, sometimes white. I drink it partly for the taste and partly for the antioxidants and theanine.
I keep saying that I should switch from coffee to green tea for this reason. But it hasn't quite happened yet. -=Steve=-
Clearly, it had not nearly as much of an effect on the world as did what we each drink in the morning. For me, it was green tea (all the cool people in this thread seem to be drinking it) and, of course, I threw some carrots in the juicer. Talk about energy! Everyone should try drinking fresh vegetable juice in the morning. It works in the way that people pretend that coffee does, yet there is no crash since the energy comes from actually providing your body with nutrients rather than tricking your body into opening up it's emergency reserves.
I see potential for this as a fantastic prelude to my two shots of espresso. :knockedout: Phillip:borladuck:
