Darn coffee creamer!

Hey guys, I live in the city, and I, like 95% of adults, am on a coffee regimen. The problem is, my dad is CONSTANTLY making the coffee super strong. Today I tried to count how much creamer I put into my coffee. I buy the regular, generic brand, (no real cream in it even though the label claims it does) creamer from Walmart. I stopped at 8 tablespoons, and it was still really strong for me. What else can I drink to wake up? I think my campus' cappuccinos will probably be not so harsh on the calorie count, but still.

    Maybe you can water it down a bit and then use a fat free creamer? Or add it to a blender with ice, skim milk and sweetener.

    Can you just add some hot water to it to tone it down?
    (I never drink coffee, so I don't know how it works)

    maybe use a little hot water, or perhaps some skim milk and 1T of the creamer?

    Can you just make your own? If not then only fill the cup half way and top with hot water.

    ^^^^^^^ This!
    If it's THAT strong then add 1/2 boiling water and just a teaspoon of creamer and you should be good to go :)
