Given a choice of tea or coffee, it's tea. But my morning drink is Diet Coke. I prefer my caffeine carbonated.

I rarely if ever drink anything hot -- only when I'm feeling ill. So it's water -- preferably carbonated -- or iced tea or Diet Coke. Since I'm laying off of caffeine, I'm now buying the caffeine-free Diet Coke to keep at the house and avoiding the soft drinks in restaurants.

I actually like the taste of coffee ice cream and mocha cakes, so I have been known to buy a Frappuccino at Starbucks. Yummy!
