What are you drinking right now?

That sounds like it wasn't a personal choice. I haven't had a day without coffee since the late fifties.
I hope the abstaining is treating you well or pleasing you. (I'm shuddering :))
It was and is still a personal choice. I simply don't care for the taste any longer. Still enjoy the aroma now and then, just not the taste. Last time I tried a few flavors was last year, and ... nah, I can still do without.

Yeah my mother gets sick with coffee, although she did slug in a nice cuppa of ice coffee the other day.

I was just a child when I went to work for my father and his brother who were trim carpenters. I was told that if I didn't drink coffee, I had to work through their morning and afternoon break. I thought it tasted like crap. I thought beer tasted like crap also but learned to love both. :) I can get by without a beer but I think I have to have my cup of java.

Yeah my first and last taste of beer, I got home from my Tae Kwon Do lesson ages ago, blindly open the fridge thought it was a diet coke, I sip it and hated the taste, switched to a cuppa milk after that.
 
I think both are acquired tastes. I grew up drinking tea. It might be an acquired taste as well, I can't say. Both coffee and beer I learned to drink and have spent a life time enjoying.

Agreed, many things are acquired tastes. I enjoy milk, to the tune of (after cutting waaaaaay back from 3 gallons daily) a half gallon daily.

First started working with my uncle at the age of eight as a means to get away from my dad. Haven't stopped since and don't ever intend to stop.

I always had milk at breakfast and my noon meal when growing up. It was whole farm fresh milk.
I don't ever crave store bought milk. I still drink it now and then but it's not a go to beverage.

I do drink milk almost always though with my coffee or straight up.
Am I weird that way?

My second glass of Pinot Noir and I need it. After weeks of agonizing over the details of our community's Patriot Day ceremony (for which I served as Master of Ceremonies and was this evening, to afford the most people the chance to attend), it's over and I'm decompressing. The ceremony was wonderfully received and I got many compliments on it. The Darling Bride was recording it on video, so I'll start working on that to post on YouTube. Not tonight, though!
 
A second glass of Merlot. HP=extortion and I will not comply! The printer will stop working if any laser toner other than genuine HP toner cartridges are used (which cost 5 times as much as 3rd party toner); the HP mobile app will print documents, but only if they're PDF format. I'm a writer and use DOC files - I can't print them! Finally, there is no official Linux support so I can't even call their support line to figure out why my laptop can print fine, but my desktop can't print at all, even though they're running the exact same version of Linux. HP can stuff it. I like my old HP laser printer but it's simplex and I was really hoping for a full duplex printer... alas, that's not happening.

Learned my lessons about HP when I was a tech in the 90's.
