I started in college when I needed to stay up and study. I would always think that Rory (on Gilmore Girls) was going to stunt her growth by drinking so much coffee.
I've never been a big coffee drinker because I'm very sensitive to caffeine so I could easily give it up.
When did you start drinking coffee? Would you let your LO drink coffee in high school?

I used to drink it every day on the way to school from 9th to 11th grade. Once I graduated I just don't care for it anymore.

i still don't =D i don't think i'd buy it to have in the house for LOs in high school, but if we were out to breakfast or something and they ordered it i wouldn't mind. i just wouldn't want it to be a habit.

Just started about 5 or 6 months postpartum. At that point the new mom adrenaline was gone and my kids were still waking a lot overnight. Now I have a cup at breakfast and lunch, but its only half caf.
I wouldn't want my kids drinking it as early as high school. But college seems more appropriate to me. I'd rather them have coffee than a red bull or caffiene pills or something.

I have never really been a huge coffee drinker, since the acidity really upsets my stomach. I never drank it in high school, in college I had a few cups a week, and now I will make a pot on the weekends usually.
I do have a weakness for nescafe in hot milk though, hehe. But you can hardly call that coffee.

I think in college, though I can't pinpoint when or why. When I was in HS I thought it was "gross."

I started drinking in college. The caffeine never worked in my favor. I would end up getting sleepy right when I needed it to keep me awake for an important test. Now I'm more of a social coffee drinker and enjoy a cup of black coffee.

I started drinking coffee after maternity leave =) Never needed it in college, never needed it when I worked 12+ hours in accounting, but boy this baby business is bonkers!

When I was pretty young I think because my dad would always buy Mr. Coffee by the case when we went to the grocery store and he'd always let me have a sip or two. Or when we went to go eat Pho at a restaurant, he'd order the Vietnamese coffee, and share with me. It's so good!
