question of the week

When did you first start drinking coffee? What age were you? Was it about the caffeine, or do you love the taste and smell? Tell us how your passion began!

I started in nursing school, 1960. It was the thing to do (along with smoking cigarettes). We also had very little money, like most kids in school, so we went to the local hang out, got a cup of coffee and made it last. I was 18. At first it was to be cool. I actually (shudder) drank instant coffee!!!! I grew to love coffee. I drink a lot.
