I think you have to narrow it down more than that.

There is one beverage that I reach for every morning when I wake up, I sip it while getting the kids ready for school, I take it with me for my drive to work.  My wife and I both tend to crave it before bed.  Failure to drink enough of it in the morning can leave me feeling nauseous before I get to lunch.  Not drinking enough of it in the evening can make me wake in the morning with a headache.

You probably figured it out by now -- the beverage is water. :)

Reminds me of the mafia euphemism: "He kicked the breathing habit."

You are just joking, right...because that is like a version of half the lawyer jokes out there. 

Yes, hippies and lawyers provide roughly the same value to society. 

.....Infinite value of course because  both groups are children of God :)

Not joking but then again it is not uncommon for me to not get jokes nor for me to be confused.

. . . what I was told in September by a member of the presidency of the Seventy and another 1Q70. In the Q&A, they were asked about medical marijuana and recreational marijuana, and they said that the Church was working on guidelines that would be coming out soon. They also said that it was going to be comprehensive, and that there are issues that aren't issues in the U.S., such as kava, mate, and betel nut that need to be considered.

I'm told that the Church would have a full-scale revolt on their hands in Brazil from active members if mate were added to the WoW restrictions.

It seems to me that anything people just cannot function without informs the spirit and guidance of the WoW, if not the letter. I would include the multitude of LDS who keep stocked up on 64 ounce caffeinated fountain drinks from the gas station throughout their day. They act no different from coffee drinkers who cannot begin their day without coffee.

Interestingly, my 26 year-old native German companion, a university graduate who had served time in jail, insisted that this is largely a mental attitude thing, and that the effects of caffeine are overblown. He said if you drink anything hot in the morning, it will "wake" you up. I found this interesting as an outside observer, because I rarely drink anything hot, and never in the morning. My family really drinks pop/soda very rarely, not so much out of health reasons as it is that we prefer water, milk, or juice.  Water, milk, or juice over carbonated drinks, any day of the week, and twice on Sundays!

Once I realized soda is basically liquid candy I adjusted my intake.

I am more concerned about the sugar.

Then you and rongo should have a talk. He appears adamant that juice is the wholesome way to go, yet juice is loaded with sugar.

(And lest anyone think I'm "that guy," I'm not an anti-sugar fanatic. Just sayin.')
