Do you drink coffee? Why or why not?

Coffee for me is like wine for other people. I love to smell it and savor it, and even though I don’t think it’s the best thing to drink if one is low in iron and it dehydrates you, I will probably always drink it.
What about you? Do you drink it or don’t drink it for specific reasons (health, religion, don’t like it, etc.)?

I drink it every day. FYI, it does not dehydrate you, it is almost all water.
ETA: my grammar sucks.14 -
I drink it so I don’t go to prison for killing coworkers.58

I have a funny story regarding my coffee habit.0 -
I drink because I like it and sometimes because I don't get enough sleep. Also I find it can act as an appetite suppressant, so there's that.10

I don't drink coffee, but that's because even the smell of it nauseates me. I do drink other beverages with caffeine (tea and diet colas).5

Coffee breath is about as bad as morning breath.4 -
I drink it for the flavor and don't care whether it's caffeinated or not. It pairs well with certain foods. I do love the smell of it as well.
As for hydration, yes, that has long been debunked. It would take being off caffeine for several weeks and drinking a few cups before you would feel the dehydrating effects. Regular caffeine users don't experience this.

Yes I drink it, one nice cold iced brew per day.2

Need my 2 cups in the morning or I get withdrawals1

I never developed a liking for or habit of coffee. Then I started limiting or avoiding caffeine about 20 years ago. I'd rather drink other things.0

Love the flavor and aroma. Like a little caffeine before my workouts. Is high in antioxidants and no, it does not dehydrate you.4

IIRC, that would be a short trip, given who your co-workers are . . . ?
I'm retired, don't have co-workers, but I drink two big mugs most days, usually home single-cup drip brewed from home-ground whole beans, with plenty of hot skimmed milk (like 3/4C per mug) because (1) that's how I love it, and (2) it helps with my protein goal.
Unless you have some kind of unusual medical situation, it counts as hydrating fluid. And, as stimulants go, (1) this one is legal (and cheap), and (2) it has cognitive and other benefits.
Can it be overdone? Of course. So don't.
Must people drink it? Of course not. More for me.12 -
My Grandson and I have the "I can't even stand the smell of coffee" gene. My Parents and Children are all coffee drinkers. The coffee-hatred gene must skip a generation!2

Yes. I enjoy it.1

I love it. It's that simple. I think I drink too much of it due to caffeine (am trying to convince myself to drink more herbal tea or decaf, but coffee is too easy).

I really like lattes. A good one with whole milk is delicious.5
