<p>It's kind a weird question that if you are a guy, do you drink coffee regularly?</p>
<p>I’m a guy and I don’t drink coffee. I tried it once last year, took 3 sips and didn’t like it, never drank it after that and plan to keep it this way.</p>
<p>Of course.</p>

So if don’t drink coffee, what do you do usually to boost your energy when feeling low?</p>
<p>I know plenty of guys (including myself) that drink coffee on a daily basis.</p>
<p>Why would guys not drink coffee?</p>
<p>I don’t drink much coffee- usually one cup every few weeks at church on Sunday mornings. During senior year of high school, I had it close to ten times, but only when everyone was at Starbucks.</p>
<p>As a joke, I would always tell my friends they were addicted. It’s quite arguable though- when someone depends on a substance to make it through a day. It’s costly and a lot of people are miserable without it. Still, caffeine is socially acceptable, so it’s just a fun thought.</p>
<p>Studies have shown (don’t quote me, I’m not gonna cite myself) that a 20 minute nap is more effective than a cup of coffee, so I take naps and use my youthful energy that will one day run out. Maybe it’s already happening- I used to be able to go multiple nights with 3 hours of sleep, but now I’ve lost my touch. </p>
<p>Eating well and being in shape would help, as well as getting enough sleep. For me, energy is usually a nonissue, so coffee isn’t worth the time yet.</p>
<p>Coffee is a man’s drink.</p>
<p>Wait, there are college students who don’t drink coffee? I learn something new every day.</p>
<p>I’m not a guy, but I know at least six other guys, not including men in my family, who can’t go a single morning without having the stuff. </p>
<p>I’ve always had a low caffeine tolerance so I tend to stay away from coffee as it sometimes makes me overly jittery and paranoid. A good protein-rich snack and some upbeat music is usually enough to get me going when I’m in the need for energy. Power naps work too, if I have the time for them.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yup. Including some grad students and women! 
</p>
<p>Of course guys drink coffee. Like all things, some do and some don’t.</p>
<p>No. Coffee doesn’t taste good to me unless it is filled with milk and sugar. Also, when you drink it regularly, all it seems to do is get you to normal. What is the benefit?</p>
<p>No. I may drink a cup every other year when I am trying to learn to like it. I love the smell of coffee but hate the bitterness.</p>
<p>Besides the rumored stunted growth… I would like to try coffee, but I do not want to seem like a new coffee buyer when I know I’m going to take forever to order my coffee. x-x</p>

When I’m feeling tired I normally just take a nap lol or I drink water or I go outside and exercise/stretch for a bit, maybe go for a run. If I really felt like I needed it, I’ll get cold and sweet juice/lemonade, it wakes me up pretty well actually.</p>

I don’t know if coffee actually stunts growth but I don’t drink it and I’m 6 feet.</p>
<p>Stunted growth? I’m an 18 year old female and I drank coffee like every other day, somehow grew half an inch these few months.</p>
<p>I drink coffee everyday. I don’t like the taste though … so I guess I’m just addicted.</p>
<p>No, I do not.</p>
<p>I didn’t drink coffee - never liked the taste. I got through IB and three years of college like that, and never had to pull an all-nighter.
And then I went on co-op in Germany. And the lab where I work has this ridiculously fancy coffee/espresso machine (as in, it has bluetooth so it knows if the milk cannister is empty). And there was this work get-together that went until 2:30 AM - on a Tuesday. I needed the coffee the next day. They started me out easy with a cafe latte with sugar and extra milk. That’s still usually what I have at work (maybe once every week or two), but now I also drink coffee at church on Sundays (wouldn’t know what to do with myself during coffee hour otherwise), and when invited over for lunch at someone’s house after church, there is almost always coffee involved.
How will this translate to life when I return to the US? Well, it will start with a jet lagged Christmas. I have the distinct feeling that coffee will be involved.
(What I have learned though: 4:00 is my cutoff. If I have coffee after that, I won’t be able to fall asleep when I need to.)</p>
<p>No coffee for me, but lots of tea.</p>
<p>Also I’m really confused as to why this question was even asked. Does coffee seem to be a feminine beverage? Heck, does it even have a gender association?</p>
