I can't even imagine my morning without a couple mugs of strong black tea. Or, say, a whole pot.
Recommending a cup of coffee has to be one of the strangest things I've heard a doctor "prescribe".
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not to mention I thought I was contributing to good sleep hygiene by limiting myself to no more than one cup of tea (usually green) and always before lunch on a school night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am increasing skeptical of this doctor, for the record.

See, I drink tea all day and all evening. Every day. Sometimes I wonder if the caffeine even affects me anymore, or if it's just psychological.
But I don't like coffee, and I got sick of soda, and like Plei, I really don't like water, so ... tea it is.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I've already had a pot of black tea this morning, and I'm brewing some green tea right now. But never after 3:00pm.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Does green tea have caffeine in it?

Not as much as black tea, but yes.

Green has very little caffeine in it. I don't love green, though. I like the peatiness of strong black tea. Like, assam.

That is really weird (the coffee thing). I sort of hate doctors right now, though.
The week or so I am working full tilt at the theater, I drink so much coffee that I have a horrible time getting back to normal coffee intake. I think that might be the source of my headache and nausea.

While I'm in the coffee=life camp for myself, I don't see it having a major therapeutic effect on people who aren't already addicts. At least ita can get it without an ER trip or a prescription, but that's also true for jellybeans. Doesn't mean they're gonna fix a major health issue.
Or, what Jesse said.
