While I'm on a roll, some old fashioned memesheepery

Borrowed from [livejournal.com profile] sfred

1. How do you like your coffee?
Coffee doesn't like me, it gives me stomachache. But before that, I drank it white with two sugars.

2. How do you like your tea?
White, one sugar, not too strong. In extreme circumstances (i.e. Lack of milk), black with two sugars.

Occasionally mint tea, green teas or fruit teas. I also drink naked varieties of black tea but I don't know if I can really tell the difference.

3. What's your favorite late night beverage?
It's almost always going to be tea. Possibly hot chocolate, with at least 5 heaped tsps of powder in.

4. If you could only drink one thing for the next week, what would it be?
Tea definitely!

I started drinking tea regularly when studying at school and there's a very strong mental association between the taste of hot tea and the feeling of getting down to work. At work, getting up to make tea also serves as a natural break when working. I try to use it to refocus when I have been distracted but that is less effective.

5. If you were on vacation, what would be the first thing you'd drink to celebrate?
Possibly red wine, possibly something sweet and alcoholic but tea is a strong contender here too.

TEA!

I too find a cup of a tea is a good prelude to a period of work and definitely use "making a cup of tea" as a way of getting up to move around when sat at the computer at home or at work.

Yes! Tea is essential punctuation in my working day.

That's a really good way of putting it!

I have been known to say at work that you put caffeine in and get engineering out :-D
