I simply cannot chose. I REFUSE!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71609 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:13:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 71609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink both, but I drink something with caffeine probably three times a week and something with alcohol once a month or less. Alcohol it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71558 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:44:37 +0000 rawrasaur 71558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with most of you - Alcohol since I really don't drink it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71557 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:44:33 +0000 cupcakemama 71557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alcohol - in a heartbeat! Though, to be honest I had no issues going caffeine cold turkey when pregnant. Normal coffee and tea just tastes better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71554 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:41:28 +0000 DillonLion 71554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alcohol - easy. I drink so seldom (maybe 3-4x a year) that this was an easy choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71540 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:31:39 +0000 BabyLove 71540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love caffeine. And I'm not much of a drinker. But I still think I'd give up the caffeine. I just dream of the day that I can casually, socially have a glass of wine without having to make sure there's enough breastmilk available! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71539 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:28:53 +0000 heffalump 71539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely drink either. But I drink alcohol less so I'd give that up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71536 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:26:33 +0000 lilteacherbee 71536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink very rarely, like once every 2-3 months and I don't like coffee, so really it wouldn't matter. I can't give up chocolate though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71528 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:16:07 +0000 Rescuemom10 71528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is soooo hard. I loooove my coffee in the morning. So I would say Alcohol, but then I remeber wine.....ohhh I need my wine.....this is too hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71495 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:32:45 +0000 prettylizy 71495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So long coffee, bring on the Red Red WINE! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71490 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:24:39 +0000 mrsjazz 71490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely caffeine. I'm very sensitive to it, too. Can't even have decaf! </p> <p>Bring on the margaritas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71483 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:16:55 +0000 calsmom 71483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alcohol. I don't drink a lot of it anyways, so I wouldn't miss it that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71480 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:12:54 +0000 mamabolt 71480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes, I don't know! I think caffeine? But I would have some haaaard mornings at work without it. But I really love wine! Thank goodness this is just hypothetical! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71453 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:58:56 +0000 Mrsbells 71453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont drink alcohol and my own source of caffeine is chocolate so I can easily give up both </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71451 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:58:46 +0000 loveisstrange 71451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm... well, if it were a contest between caffeinated beverages and alcoholic beverages, I'd give up caffeine.</p> <p>I can't give up chocolate though, No way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71445 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:56:13 +0000 Penny Lane 71445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't drink either anymore :) I've never touched alcohol in my life, so I guess that would be easiest to give up? But, it's also been 2 years since I quit caffeine (in the form of energy drinks, coffee makes me throw up) so I guess both? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71443 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:55:51 +0000 Rubies 71443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could easily give up alcohol. I always get a reaction to it. I LOVE coffee and will drink it to my death. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71418 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:50:04 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 71418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a tough one. I don't really drink right now because DH doesn't (he's a youth pastor). I also have mostly given up caffeine for the TTC process...<br /> So maybe both? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71414 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:48:53 +0000 twodoghouse 71414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I enjoy alcohol more, but I "need" caffeine more so I'd probably say alcohol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71359 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:32:48 +0000 Adira 71359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would give up alcohol over caffeine for sure. I love my morning coffee, but I could care less about having a cocktail. The virgin option will work for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71354 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:31:18 +0000 BSB 71354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hardly ever drink alcohol. So I could give up alcohol. Although, I will miss pina coladas and strawberry daquiris. I don't live on caffeine but sometimes I need it to stay awake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71353 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:31:06 +0000 yoursilverlining 71353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would give up caffeine before alcohol, but it would be super hard to give up everything with caffeine (I’m really only thinking of chocolate here!!). But, I would rather give up all caffeine than give up red wine forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71352 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:30:55 +0000 tequiero21 71352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>alcohol for sure! i'm not big on caffeine but i'm sure i'll need it when i raise my 2 lil ones. i'm not big on alcohol and i hate the way it makes me feel when i drink too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71350 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:28:05 +0000 MH.Abroad 71350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I don't drink alcohol at all, so alcohol it is!! I love my coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71345 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:25:24 +0000 autumnlove 71345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say caffeine. I have never liked coffee...it doesn't keep me up and I don't like the taste! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71344 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:25:11 +0000 mediagirl 71344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Caffeine. Honestly, I don't miss it. I was never a junkie and I am currently in love with Mug Root Beer as my go-to fizzy drink of choice. I do miss my alcohol, though. I want a sip of wine!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71342 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:24:30 +0000 BoogieBea 71342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Caffeine for sure. I like coffee but don't need the caffeinated kind. Soda, I shouldn't be drinking anyway. But alcohol, man, I could use a drink at the end of each day, these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71341 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:24:25 +0000 chopsuey 71341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't drink alcohol so this is an easy one!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rather-give-up-alcohol-or-caffeine#post-71336 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:21:11 +0000 Mrs. Bee 71336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's easy for me because I'm very sensitive to caffeine and only drink decaf! So coffee it is! </p> <p>What about you? Also do you find you need caffeine more now that you're a parent? I def do. I drink decaf all the time for the placebo effect. :-) </p>
