If I could afford it, I would start every day with a 20 oz. Mocha, but the realities of the world prevent that. i do make a pot of coffee every morning, and on work days i drink one cup while I am getting ready, and then take the rest of the pot in a thermus to work. I use a flavored creamer , usually French Vanilla, but don't add any extra sugar. I do not drink coffee after noon, becuase no matter how tired I may be, it will always keep me awake. I very rarely drink cola of any kind. I prefer 7-Up, or Sierra Mist, either regular of diet. I don't care for Sprite. At home, in the evening, I usually drink cranberry juice, mixed with diet 7-Up.
Ever since I was hsopitalized for a kidney stone, back in the 1970s, I have tried to lessen their impact on me, by drinking, at least, 8 glassed of water (bottle or tap) per day.
