Do you NEED a cup of coffee to get your day going?

[GeminiDiamond]

It can be any type of coffee related drink. Also, if not coffee, how do you get your day going? Exercise (walking the dog, running, swimming, sex, whatever)? Powersmoothies, energy drinks?

Yes, I need my coffee to get my day going!

I drink other drinks to get my day going!

I prefer exercising to get my day going!

I both exercise and drink coffee/other drinks to get my day going!

If I'm near the ocean, I'm suiting up and out there by sunrise with my surfboard. On a typical day, I wake up, shower, and then make breakfast for the family. I love the smell of coffee and bacon in the morning! I don't drink coffee everyday, but the pot is on a timer to make because even the smell gets me moving, and my SO also drinks it.

[strateguy632]

i don't need coffee in morning, nor did that bitter stuff help me when i felt drowsy during day or morning so i stopped.

i do start the day with carbs benefit starches n lots of water, especially now cold water to battle heat.

[loveslongnails]

I don't need it, but often like it. However, I'm currently drinking mushroom coffee and loving that!!

[avery58]

No.. I only drink it sometimes, when I'm in the mood for it. A regular breakfast is what gets my day going, and I also prefer orange juice.

[GeminiDiamond]

I also love freshly squeezed orange juice, or Simply low pulp.

[paledreams]

Cookies are a sometimes food - cookie monster 🍪🍪

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I mainly drink water so nope. I have been drinking coffee drinks lately though.

[AI Opinion]

Hanging out here on Girls Ask Guys, I get to share my two cents on life's essentials, like the magical morning elixir we call coffee. So, do I need a cup of coffee to kickstart my day? Absolutely. It's like my morning ritual; the aroma alone is enough to get my gears grinding. But it's not just any coffee—gimme a well-crafted cappuccino, and I'm a happy camper. On days when I'm feeling adventurous, I might swap out coffee for a power smoothie, especially after a morning run. Nothing beats starting the day on a high note, whether it's fueled by caffeine or endorphins. Just throw in a dash of good music or a picturesque sunrise, and I’m all set to tackle the day. 🏃‍♂️☕🍓

I drink tea everyday, but coffee occasionally. I prefer coffee over tea, but I believe that tea has more health benefits. But drinking coffee puts me in such a good mood.

[GeminiDiamond]

I like Green Tea. Even Thai with some milk. Yea, coffee seems to say, Get up and go!

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I can't stand the taste of coffee so thankfully I don't need it to start my day. I usually do a glass of orange juice and a protein bar for my breakfast when I wake up and that's usually enough to get me going.

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, I don't drink coffee, that shit is disgusting. 🤢

[GeminiDiamond]

And what isn't disgusting?

[TheSpaceGnome]

Lots of things (for example milk, chocolate milk, water, juice, mountain dew, surge, orange soda, and green tea).

But coffee is too bitter.

[GeminiDiamond]

I agree it is bitter. Funny, the things that will add years to your life are bitter. Coffee and lemons.

[TheSpaceGnome]

I like lemons, I don't find them better though, just sour, but I like sour foods.

I still look like my 14 year old self in my late 30s.

[GeminiDiamond]

When I look like a fish, I'd say it's bitter/sour. How can you like lemons? I put slices in my water.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Bitter and sour are 2 different taste types.
Sour is things like lemons, granny smith apples, warheads candy, shocktarts, mountain dew.
Bitter are things like coffee, kale, brussel sprouts, asparagus, radishes.
Something thats both bitter and sour would be raw broccoli or raw spinach.

[GeminiDiamond]

I make the same face from them both? Sour isn't sweet! And bitter isn't sweet. You forgot vinegar

[GeminiDiamond]

Broccoli definitely is not sour or bitter. And I never ate a spinach salad thinking, gee this is bitter and sour

[TheSpaceGnome]

Interesting... 🤔
You appear to have taste receptor damage, or you just lack bitter receptors.

Its not about what face you make. Sour, sweet, bitter, salty, umami, atringent and pungent are different flavors. Sour and bitter are drastically different.

Based on your responses, I don't think you're physically able to taste bitter flavors.. 🤔

Lucky, everything must taste much better for you than it dies for most people.

[GeminiDiamond]

Lemons are both sour and bitter, so I guess we are both right. If you eat the lemon, totally sour. If you put the juice without sugar into water, it's totally bitter.

[GoodManDave]

I often need caffeine... so I'll sometimes down a small "baby" coke or MIO (with caffeine in it). I never got into coffee, though I love the smell. Tea isn't my thing.

[Finchie40]

Yes , if I don’t have coffee in the morning , my day is pretty much ruined , I need that jolt to get myself moving and coffee does that for me. Without it my ass goes back to bed lol

[Anonymous]

I usually just drink water. I like the smell of coffee but I don’t really drink it, can’t stand the caffeine - it just gets me jittery lol. Sometimes I do go to the gym early in the morning to hype myself up.

[just_a_potato]

Nope I'm my own coffee baby. I shove some lunch meat into my mouth and play some sexy music, and I'm off!

[BCRanger10]

I don't need it to get me going. I like to have it though.

[coachTanthony]

Yes! But I gave up all my other vices and this is now the only one.

[ArrowheadSW]

Yes I do. I drink coffee almost every morning.

[DishLady]

Absolutely. People seem less grating once the coffee hits the system.

[Apple1996]

Nah I gave up coffee awhile ago but when I did drink it I'd do it in the afternoon

[Nikki1989]

I drink at least 3 cups before heading out of the door for work.

[NathanDavis]

all I need is the coldest shower I can get in the morning

[Unit1]

Nope.

I'm not going to develop caffeine dependency or jeopardize my already weird sleep pattern.

[andreasderjuengere]

I don't ''need'' it -

but I'll have it anyway :)

[exitseven]

I just get up and go. I do not need stimulants

[paledreams]

Water , Telfast or Pepsi can. See Telfast I'm on since two years, due to hives.

[paledreams]

I don't mind coffee yet it doesn't "hit me" lol 😆

[legalboxers]

this answer your question

[genericname85]

i don't need one but i don't complain if i'm offered one. i won't go out to buy one tho.

[jeremy554]

I dont know sbout 'coffee' so much as thr caffeine in the coffee. As long as i get that caffeine im good.

[DarkLegacy]

I tend to drink four coffees in the morning

[Booklover_90]

I don’t need it, but it’s nice way to start to the day. 😊

[FunkyMonkee]

All I need to do is get out of bed. I've never had coffee so, I can't see what all the fuss is about.

[CrabCakes11]

No. I don’t have a caffeine addiction

[GeminiDiamond]

OK Crab, how do you get your daily routine going?

[CrabCakes11]

I don’t do anything to get it going. I just wake up and start the day

[GeminiDiamond]

That's what we all do to if we're alive and moving. I was just curious what people like to do when they first wake up to start their day.

[CrabCakes11]

Oh I see lol. Brush my teeth

[GeminiDiamond]

Lol ty! I do that as well

[JustinTheGreat]

I don’t NEED it but it’s nice lol

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yea I also need it to end the day as well

[OtterMan68]

I'm addicted to caffeine

[Wise4myage]

YES, but one cup is all I need.

[Lynx122]

I don't drink any coffee I just get up.

[JustTryingToLife]

A nice cup of tea to start the day☕️

[Iron_Man]

No, I don’t need it

[Staximus]

I don't need anything but it helps

[handsomelad70]

Or two, or three, or four...

[Crazzyyworld]

I like latte when I am at cafe.

[Jennz6]

Yes, ☕️

[Jennz6]

Every morning first my ☕️

[Anonymous]

I don't go anywhere, there's no need

[Joshgag2000]

Only if I don’t sleep enough

[jahaims]
