I cant afford to drink coffee in the morning, I drink hot tea instead. Short of being so tired that it would be dangerous to be on the road, then I do it for safety concerns. Otherwise it creates an artificial wired effect that does not do well with me, jitters and such. The caffeine is sort of like illegal drugs that get you high to deal with the day. We were made perfectly by the Lord, and there is other things we can do, short of drugs, to get the proper rest we need. That being said, I love the smell of hot coffee.
