Do You Really Like the Taste of What you are Drinking?
I don't drink beer but I do drink instant tea and instant coffee. Sometimes when I take a drink of them, either one, I wonder why am I drinking this?
I really think it is habit. I just think I have to have coffee at breakfast and iced tea in the summer. I must say I do kind of like the tea but coffee is a different matter. I do want something hot to drink but I sometimes think I would like something better tasting.
I almost believed Lana Kay, my daughter, when she told me that I could just go out an scoop up a few spoonfuls of dirt to make my coffee and it would taste as good as what I am using!
She buys expensive coffee and I buy cheap instant coffee. However I have tasted her coffee and I don't really like it either. But for probably 75 years I have had coffee every morning of my life and wouldn't know what to drink besides it!
I have tasted beer and champagne and I don't like them either. I don't know what attracts people to drink beer--it certainly can't be the taste! I think they become attracted to the feeling they get from drinking it, not the taste.
Coffee is a different matter. You don't get any feeling from drinking it except maybe a little caffeine high. So why do I keep drinking coffee? When I was a kid my mother used to put a lot of sugar and cream in the coffee and I think that is when I became addicted to it. But when I grew up I discontinued putting in the sugar and later even the cream. So now I drink it black. And I really don't like it very well!
I would switch to hot chocolate except for the calories. So I guess I will continue to drink my mud coffee until something better comes along.

Try some hot tea. I drink English breakfast tea or Earl Grey. It's good! I drink brewed coffee every morning, but I drink it because I like it.
