I would be able to cope but I would not want to be in my husbands crew when that happened. Coffee is a food group for him:)

I've pretty much given up coffee. It affects me more like a drug and one that I enjoyed abusing. I wallow in the occasional luxurious cup maybe 2-3 times a yr.
by Sin Binned on September 14th, 2007
I will be right back, just going to check if the coffee pot is still standing in the kitchen at our office..... Ok I’m back, no, I won’t mind, tea has got caffeine in as well. It would have a big impact on other people though, nothing like a good cup of coffee to wake you up

First of all, thank you for the nightmares.
I would probably have to move to Columbia. At least if the ban on coffee reached to there I would have a ready supply of Coke..
(kidding! I think)

HUGE!
Its just possible that I may go into some form of shock. Maybe even a breakdown of some kind in the middle of the street. Lots of rocking backwards and forwards, wailing and sobbing and then after several hours of this the sobs would gradually turn into silent tears flowing down my drawn, coffeeless features and ever so gently I would pick myself up of the floor and very gradually get on with my life. Safe in the knowledge that coffee will one day come back for me.
by T H on August 17th, 2007
Figure out some way to make tea taste like coffee?
I don't know! Good question though. + up
by subtle on November 11th, 2007
WHAT?
No coffee!
Never, I would not be able to even roll out of bed without my coffee!
by CountryHeartedGirl on April 1st, 2008
Depends are we talking about all coffee like ice-Coffe. Cause then HELL yes i couldn't live without my ice-coffee. I wouldn't be able to survive **runs around the room screaming** please don't take my coffee away...**cries** so yes i culdn't live without coffee
by Miss Anubis loves this season on March 27th, 2008
I don't do coffee...tea is more my thing.
by Sandra havent been here since forever on March 5th, 2008
No since i found out i was pregnant there has been a personal ban on coffee for me at first i thought i would want it real bad (even though i didnt drink it much before) but it hasnt been to difficult and after i have the baby i think i will continue to stay away from coffee if i can maybe all thoes late nights up with the kid will make me turn back to it but for now i am ok without it
by Whippoorwill on December 29th, 2007
I would buy caffinated tea, and have at least four bags in my cup with a little cream and sugar, and I might later lose a bag.
by rigby on October 15th, 2007
i could do without it- i am perimenopausal - it only makes the flashes hotter
by Cats Rule...Dogs Drool on September 17th, 2007
I would be able to cope because I don't drink coffee.
by Arisztid on August 18th, 2007
Not coffee but caffeine. If they outlawed caffeine itself, I would be a mess!
by Capt. Jack Sparrow GALCIY on August 17th, 2007
NOOOO!!! now why would anyone want to take away one of my only pleasures in life?
Next you'll be unplugging me from AnswerBag and taking away Booze and Pot!
Then just shoot me!
by Jewel on August 17th, 2007
It is a beverage. Not a way of life.
by Anonymous on August 17th, 2007
I love coffee , BUT , not to the point that I would be totally miserable and devistated if I couldn't drink it. There are so many really great teas available that I would probably enjoy maybe even more than coffee.
by Galeanda on August 17th, 2007
I think I could do without real coffee easier than I could do without coffee flavored things like ice cream:-) I assume those would still be available? I have ground up roasted chicory root and had that as my coffee. It works in a pinch:-)
by peterpam on August 17th, 2007
I would become a law breaker, the impact would be massive for the people who know me!
by Zibbys Mind Is In the Gutter Today on August 17th, 2007
I would probably die. Or get arrested for smuggling it in.
by Sandy on August 8th, 2008
That would be very bad...i love coffee...i would have to get some and become a dealer
by Marlee on July 22nd, 2008
Shhhhhhh. unthinkable! I don't necessarily need the caffeine but the ritual of my morning coffee is something i would never ever want to live without.
I suppose if i had to I'd go with tea.
by Mork on April 30th, 2008
when I miss my coffee and feel that headache coming on, I turn to the next best thing, Excedrin. There is 60mg caffeine per pill, and it works very fast. I feel jittery with just one pill, and it gets me moving and hyperactive almost. But I would miss sipping coffee, I think I'm forming a real habit out of it.
by olydusty on April 9th, 2008
I very good friend of mine that happens to be a movie script writer and producer is making a movie right now about this exact thing--a ban on coffee. It's the best script I've ever read, and I've read plenty.
My answer? I'd cope just fine as I'm not addicted. But I would definitely question why it would have been banned in the first place. And what else would they ban? Everything with caffeine? If they banned tea, I'd revolt!
by harmonsd1984 on February 27th, 2008
coffee eck! but i do have to say i had to go buy a coffee pot for my friends...they cant even come and hang out for a few hours w/o their coffee...but it does smell wonderful but is just ecky ecky poo poo!
by Mr DominQuez Is Gone From AB on February 24th, 2008
I wouldn't like it, but i wouldn't really care at the same time. Although going to Starbucks would be kind of weird...
by DJ Butter jetpacking up up and away on February 20th, 2008
no coffee? Oh no! I would just switch to highly caffeninated drinks like Redbull or Monster. I am a caffeine addict, I admit it.
by angel on February 16th, 2008
Huge impact. I guess I would start buying more of those coffee drinks they sell in bottles. I would not be happy at all about that
by Gina on January 20th, 2008
I'd probably have a headache for a few days, but, life would go on...
by VenusRising on January 20th, 2008
What they are going to ban coffee ? omg it's the end of the world !!!! they cant do it !!!!! what will become of us !!!!!!1 This must just be a bad dream !!!!! AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!
by sharky on October 15th, 2007
im a tea totaler?anyway i shake when i smell fresh roasted cofee,frenchroast im drooling,espresso and im vomitting from withdrawel!!!!i have not had a dop of drip in years(doctors orders)and still salivate at cofee houses.my life is miserable without that triple espresso shot or the sumatra house blends mmmmmmmm,this country ,a ban on cofee,lots of dead people,oh yeah lots of them,starting with my doctor.....
by MrBLT needs to be contained on September 14th, 2007
I'd make it through just fine. No impact at all - I think I've had 20 cups my whole life.
by spiff on September 14th, 2007
OMG say it isn't so!!!!! Help Help Help....Cope who could cope...not me OMG not a ban on coffee. I need another espresso....Yes it would be a great impact on me and other people around me. :(
by Gracie on September 13th, 2007
Well...for the record I do not like nor do I require coffee each day. I don't mind saying I have an occasional cup after dinner to top-off the meal. However.....there is a coffee addict within the walls of my humble abode and for this reason I would suffer greatly. The impact would be outrageous. Therefore the answer to "would I be able to cope?" is a big NO WAY!!!How far to Juan Valdez's casa? About the impact...I would make quite the greasy spot on the kitchen wall!!! Please someone tell me there is a heaven full of coffee that will last for an eternity!!!
by loveschimps on August 19th, 2007
Yes I never drink coffee,it gives me a headache,Not a big impact on me at all
by Seraphim Shinobi on August 18th, 2007
nope, i'd just switch to green tea, it has 25% mre caffiene
by Mentalmum is back on August 18th, 2007
hell ive got the shakes already just thinking about it!! gosh no, i couldnt miss my coffee, i need 2 cups in the morning just to focus!! i think i would go mad!!
by Shopping Sheryl - home from the hospital on August 18th, 2007
I must be one of the few people alive that can't stand coffee. (And, I have no constipation problem, thanks for asking.) ;-)
So, it would have very little impact on me. I do enjoy a coffee-flavored ice cream treat on occasion.
by RosieGHM Jetpacker on August 18th, 2007
Oh, dear Penny...please take those words back! I would not be able to cope until I found a worthy substitute and what that would be I'll never know. I can't stand my yearly physical for one reason only...I have to fast the night before and am not allowed my morning coffee until I get back from the exam..talk about being around a grumpy person! Jim does not look forward to the morning of that day..mutter mutter mutter. :(
by Sheriff Raff -Answerhag on August 17th, 2007
i don't drink coffee, i drink tea... no worries here
by Mrs.Dufresne on August 17th, 2007
Triple strength green tea. Yay! +
by I love my baby on August 17th, 2007
TYes I could easily cope. The only time I drank coffee was when I use to get up at 3:00 am . Hot chocolate could easily replace coffee for me, no big impact.
by Ender is back.. And slightly confused. on August 17th, 2007
It wouldn't bother me. I don't drink coffee (or anything with caffeine, for that matter.)
by blondecowgirl865 loves NC bbq on August 17th, 2007
i dont drink much coffee so i could survive.. i much prefer hot chocolate or tea
by Egico is now Egioz on August 17th, 2007
I'd cope. I get more of my daily intake from black tea anyway. I would miss the coffee though - how would I make tiramisu, what would happen to my Starbucks icecream, what about kahlua? I am a caffeine addict. Going without caffeine gives me a headache!
by Anonymous on August 17th, 2007
Well, I go off caffeine periodically just to chill out my system, but I am a TRUE coffee lover so I would be extremely disappointed.
by Patti jo on August 17th, 2007
Yes I could handle no coffee , I can't drink much at all , one small cup only a day
Hello Penny
+ 5
by BrokeDog on August 17th, 2007
10 years ago, I might of had a real tuff time. But, just in the last few years, I've slacked off to about 2 cups a day. If it was gone tomorrow, I don't think it would bother me, (at least, not until those cold, cold winter mornings).
I would just switch to tea, hot chocolate, or something else.
by anonymous on August 17th, 2007
It depends on whether you have your own stock pile of coffee or not. Then the question would be......
Sell it and make a vast fortune or just taunt all those poor desperate fools with the glorious smell of freshly brewed coffee in the morning.
Muhahahahahahahahha
by DBike on August 17th, 2007
I hate the taste of coffee.. but i like the smell of it, its no big deal for me
Does consuming caffeine make you more productive?

How do you get caffeine out of your system.
by kayleeg7 on May 1st, 2010

If it takes you somewhere around 600mg-800mg of caffeine to feel appreciable effects, and even more throughout the span of the day..

How to stay awake all night, and not be tired? I also need to know how to make coffee, not insta coffee! How many cups of water, coffee!

I can't eat chocolate because of the caffine. If Coffee beans can be decaffinated why can't cocao beans be decaffinated as well?

You're reading If there was a sudden ban on coffee, would you be able to cope? How would you deal with the sudden loss of coffee? Would it be a big impact?
