Kidneys are overrated.

Kidneys are for p*ssies.

Seriously?  Room temperature coffee?  I understand steaming hot,  and I actually like the frozen stuff from Starbucks (coffee flavored Slurpees), but room temp?  Now that’s just wrong.

[quote=iceco1d]Yep.  I’ve never met anyone else that shares the same taste.  I’ll drink iced coffees & lattes, but not hot coffee.  I brew my pot the night before, so it’s 68 degrees when I wake up.

I don’t know if we can ban him for room temp coffee.  That stuff is pretty nasty.  You gotta be some kind of nervy to drink it.

I love those frozen ones(if only they would decrease the price and not cause me to crap all afternoon) plus it is a little odd ordering them when it is 4 degrees outside

Wondering what other brokers consumption habits are, since we all work in a relatively aggressive profession that requires constant high energy.

I, for one, have weaned myself to a pot of coffee in the morning and a sugar free Red Bull in the afternoon (Was at like 4 pots a day). What keeps you wired all day?

  That is a crazy amount of coffee, have you ever asked your doctor if that is safe?  Are you teeth brown from drinking that much?  When you sweat does it smell like a Starbucks?

I am new to the field, but found my addiction day trading forex managed accounts.  Waking up at 3am daily with the london market, I was beating down Starbucks doors as they opened at 5 most mornings.  Generally I have 10-12 shots a day now so it looks like I am well prepared for my new path.

Starbucks absolutely loves me though, they sent me 2 free Gold Cards 2 months before the program started in 2008.  I miss my discount now that they abandoned that program.

My Lord! Some of you guys are hard core. I drink two cans of Diet soda and wish I could stop. … There was former EJ broker, now a sale consultant with AFunds who told us to quit caffeine and just drink water. Said we’d be more productive and even keeled. Make sense.

I drink only coffee and water.  I do drink lots of water too though, it does help your body keep going to be hydrated.
