[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2292830, member: 41816"] There is nothing 'apologetically belittling' about my attitude to not being able to drink coffee. Nor do I 'feel bad' about not being able to drink it. I do find it inconvenient and exasperating but I am definitely not indulging in some self pitying violin concerto. Why? Because I very much used to enjoy my one cup of coffee a day, and I miss it. I'm like a Bisto Kid when someone walks past me with a cup, or when my husband makes his gloriously fragrant coffee ritual that fills the house with the aroma (I'm also like that about the scent of fresh strawberries and fresh baked bread, but that doesn't mean I'm having a pity party). Being (I hope) a grown up, I prefer to sleep comfortably, and have normal blood pressure - and so I make the sensible decision not to drink coffee. It does make me laugh when people make statements like 'Oooh, I could never give it up!' or 'life without coffee wouldn't be worth living!'. Err, yes it is. Given the choice between an early stroke caused by high bp from coffee, or a long life with no stroke, it is actually a very easy decision. [/QUOTE]
