*shrug* You would think so, right? I mean, I've been a habitual coffee drinker since I was about 13, excepting long periods spent overseas where good coffee is not available (I'm looking at you, Bolivia). But the addiction/habit got quite ridiculous during bad writing-up years, when I would procrastinate all day, make a pot of espresso at 10pm with the intention of staying up late, drink it all and still be sound asleep by 2am with nothing written. So coffee has some bad associations for me. And once I had written the thesis (well, cough, written the version I handed in), I just reckoned that I would lay off the caffeine and be less tense and irritable.
Obviously, I still drink it now and then, if it's a very early start or I'm feeling particularly dull-witted, or I'm at a cafe with a friend. I still like the stuff. I just tend to have a cup of tea instead when I get up.
OK, so having really horrible associations about relying on it when you were writing up makes a lot of sense. I freeted about buying coffee that was good enough for your standards when you came to visit, cos I don't know anything about coffee. Now I feel silly.
