Dru Posted June 13, 2005 Author Posted June 13, 2005 yerba mate is allowed no red bull or caffiene pops though Quote
archenemy Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 yerba mate is allowed I lived on that shit in Peru. I love it love it luv it luv it want it must have it. Stuff rocks. Quote
archenemy Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Oh, right. I was thinking mate de coco or something like that. I drank tea that was way better than coffee, and chewed the unused tea leaves while holding a little bitter chunk of a base-catalyst in my mouth. I hiked farther than I ever have in my life. But I'd be willing to try crack too if that would help... Quote
thelawgoddess Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 good on you, dru. it's a smelly, expensive habit! who doesn't like the smell of coffee? nothing wrong with the smell of coffee. but smelly coffee breath is gross. not as bad as smelly coffee smoker's breath, though! Quote
Dru Posted June 13, 2005 Author Posted June 13, 2005 Smoking coffee is a no no. Coffee drinking mouths taste good. Quote
minx Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 i'm going out for a cup of coffee right now. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Quote
Kitergal Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...coffee! yup..it's time for my afternoon cup as well! Quote

Cobra_Commander Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 I had a nice buttery double pulled off a La Marzocco Mistral a short while ago. Quote
olyclimber Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 Ya, but how did you drink it. You don't have a mouth. Quote
Dru Posted June 13, 2005 Author Posted June 13, 2005 I had a nice buttery double pulled off a La Marzocco Mistral a short while ago. what do they charge you for the extra shot of butter? Quote
jordop Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 (edited) Quote I just want to see if I can do it.. since my normal daily coffee intake is 4 cups of dark roast and three espressos, i forget what its like to go without coffee, or what the first cup tastes like after going a long time without.

snugtop Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Some people will bend over backwards for their morning coffeee.... The tea party offer still stands btw. Quote
cj001f Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 I think you are mistaking yerba mate for crack not crack, but it bears a strong resemblance to another illicit substance. Not as good to wake up, but damn nice in the afternoon mate is. Down south you see people hiking with Thermos, cup & bombilla. In Uruguay they can't even go to the grocery store without it Quote
Ducknut Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 I decaffinated mysef several years ago. Didn't touch the stuff, but keep a doube shot espresso can in my pack if I started to fade on a climb. I worked. It also worked on the drive home. But slowy I find mysef sliding back, sure like them mochas every now and then. Quote
Double_E Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Why? Health reasons? Anyone who engages in a fair alpine/trad/ice climbing can probably assume that excessive caffeine intake is the least dire of all possible threats to one's longevity. whether or not you climb n' shit, it's pretty low on the relative-danger-scale, compared to most addictive things. i've talked to a few different doctors about this very topic, thru-out the years. all said that you have to drink a LOT of coffee (like 10+ cups a day) to even begin to approach the level of it being a health risk. I think one said that the rule of thumb was: as long as the level of intake isn't curbing appetite enough to where you could risk anorexia..... you're OK. Quote
Dechristo Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Looks like she has cinnamon buns on her mind. Quote
ashw_justin Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 ever since i drank that yerba mate i don't care de ley. Finally found the $7/kilo hookup in Seattle. Quote
Dechristo Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Finally found the $700/kilo hookup... Does this belong in the Yos plane crash thread? Quote
Chaps Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 DRU!!! TIME FOR A CUP OF COFFEE! MMMMM....EXPRESSO! HAVE AT IT CHAMP! Quote
Chaps Posted June 14, 2005 Posted June 14, 2005 Ahhh cute. Ancient Chinese Secret, eh? You might want to stay away from fellow office workers, goats, and divots when you're on that stuff. Quote
