On average, living a lifestyle free from addictive substances and LEARNING, let me say that again, LEARNING how to be happy can be one of the best decisions one can make while living here on this wonderful planet

Never had caffeine?

I say this as a full blown addict years deep in recovery.

It's ok, you don't have to be jealous. And yes, I don't drink caffeine. At first it was because of the WoW, but now it's because I don't want to deal with the headaches you get if there's no caffeine in your system. I know this is going to shock you, but no one needs caffeine to get through the day🤯🤯. I know that's blasphemy to most, but it's true. Last time I had caffeine I took a sip of an energy drink my daughter had and after drinking it my wife made me go outside and wouldn't let me back in until I calmed down.

Sounds more like they put some cocaine in your drink. Caffeine just ain't that strong.

No one said I was jealous and I never said I drink caffeine. I don't. Not to mention the WoW never mentions caffeine and even says it isn't a commandment Recently LDS the leadership said it isn't about caffeine.... what was your point again?

"Beta boy" can't handle caffeine, I guess.

I get happy just walking by the coffee grinder in the grocery store. Must not have a true blue Saint sense of smell.

Good for you! To paraphrase somebody famous, quitting coffee is easy. I've done it hundreds of times. :lol: :lol: :lol:

The Word of Wisdom and teachings on morality are most certainly a benefit. :)

I drank large quantities of sugar free cola for over a decade, with no noticeable caffeine effect. Then terrible headaches began happening whenever my consumption decreased. I also picked up a coffee habit, but about 2 years ago switched to decaf which tastes weak. Now I drink French Silk Decaf with Chocolate Bean Envy, Stevita and cream. Say goodbye to the headaches while enjoying the benefits of omega 3.

Hot means high temperature; coffee and tea are examples of beverages that MAY be consumed above 145 degrees, that the FDA has issued a warning about. Have a clue people. :lol:
