Caffeine is on the International Olympic Committee list of prohibited substances. Athletes who test positive for more than 12 micrograms of caffeine per milliliter of urine may be banned from the Olympic Games. This level may be reached after drinking about 5 cups of coffee. Ouch!

and here's a real punny fact!:
Turkish bridegrooms were once required to make a promise during their wedding ceremonies to always provide their new wives with coffee. If they failed to do so, it was grounds for divorce!

Comment by Sarah Jean on February 6, 2010 at 5:50pm: I feel like such a newbie. Started drinking coffee first year of college. Of course, I have to have the sweet stuff in order to drink it. Oh well! At least I'm staying awake and staying warm.

Comment by TZ2 (Zelda the screaming Crone) on February 6, 2010 at 5:10pm: wow this is interesting! I thought my sisters and I were the only kids who ever got to drink coffee!
and James, your comment hits home.. I used to joke about the "stunt my growth" thing too... Guess I woulda been 6 ft tall! (I am 5"9')

Comment by Philip (Groffgryphon) Austin on February 6, 2010 at 2:13pm: I drank coffee from infancy, literally. My parent lived briefly with my Dad's parents after I was born. One of the things my grandfather used to have was half a biscuit in his coffee cup, and when he would hold me he would let me taste some of the soaked biscuit. I regularly drank coffee as a child with breakfast , as did my younger brother, although by the time he was is school he lost his taste for it and doesn't drink it to this day. I have switched to decaf.

Comment by James Cliver on February 6, 2010 at 1:27pm: Coffee drinker since age 12 - they said it would stunt my growth. I'm 6'3" - so I guess I could've been a 7 footer? On the plus side, I don't have to special order shoes. :-)

Comment by TZ2 (Zelda the screaming Crone) on February 4, 2010 at 10:43pm: oooh coffee! let me tell you, as you get older, it isn't just for breakfast anymore. When I was in my twenties, and my parents would visit us, I found it delightful and slightly amusing when they brewed a pot of coffee at 3:30 in the afternoon. Well, I am their age now, and I love my afternoon cup!
We are all coffee hounds in my family - and my sisters and I have enjoyed coffee since age 6... We were sound sleepers, and I guess mom figured a little caffeine would help us into our school mornings... hey- it must have been a good thing, we always brought home the best grades!
