red bull is more of a nighttime thing for me. it still strikes me a little funny when i see people drinking it during the day and not at a bar. anyway, i don't needs to get amped to Shred the gnar gnar.

I like my coffee somewhere else. Don't like it and can't stand the smell of fresh ground...

Thats such an extremely foreign concept to me.. It's one of my favorite smells...
Makes it really difficult in our house because I LOVE the smell of fresh brewed coffee. Even though I rarely drank it before, I always appreciated the aroma. When I make it when Brian's home, I swear he gags the entire time. ;)

What a big baby. Now I'm going to be all self-conscious with him on ski trips...

That's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think? I do walk rather fast through, or avoid all together, the isle in the grocery store where you can grind your own beans though...

It's just the grounds that get to me, once it's brewed the scent isn't nearly as strong. So unless you're going to be grinding up coffee beans on the ride over I think I'll be alright... ;)

What? If I where you, this would prompt me to continually drink coffee all day around him. But that's just me.

I would expect nothing else... :roll:

I tried a red bull once. Holy crap. I didn't stop moving for like... two days. I spent the night popping all the tiles off the kitchen wall with a wood chisel because they were pink. I thought hubby was going to stab me with said wood chisel. Like I said... I really don't do well with caffiene :/

Large coffee from the mobile station up the road from me. dont know why, but i love green mtn coffee. Milk and a bit of sugar.

I'm gettin addictied to redbull. my wife constantly tells me how nasty it is for me though. sometimes it sucks having a wife who is a nurse. they tend to nag you about your eating/drinking/hygene/etc.

At least you can tell her the coffee is good for you.

Oh, and by the way... coffee is a vasoconstrictor, so not really a great idea for when you're skiing. I drink it anyway, but I know I shouldn't.

Only a bad idea if you have chronic circulation problems to begin with. I've got body heat to spare when I'm skiing, so that doesn't affect me much.

However, for those with circulation problems, remember that alcohol is a vasodilator, so, have an Irish coffee, and cancel out the effects of the caffiene! :dunce:

I'm not sure being a nurse has anything to do with it. Mine's an engineer and I see the same result...
