I thought this might be an interesting question.
Many of the more introspective people I know drink tea. And many of the more extroverted people I know drink coffee. I drink both (coffee in the morning, tea at night, so I'm not sure what that makes me). I know in rec.food.drink.coffee, there's many more posts than here....I understand generalizations are sometimes unfair, but I wonder if there's ever been a study of personality types and what preferences, tea versus coffee, they have. Anyone have any thoughts? |

coffee is a tool of the middle class to better serve their masters.

Anyone have any thoughts? There are fewer posts in this group because tea drinkers tend to be luddites.

You'd sort of have to limit a study to time and place. Would what
would go for middle America now go for !9th century England or 18th century China? Toci Falky foo wrote: coffee is a tool of the middle class to better serve their masters.

Are there many coffee-drinking vegetarians? I can't answer for many, but I can say there's at least one. She works with me, drinks coffee, and is an active member of PETA. Definitely not my type. My wife drinks tea, wears fur, and swallows anything I put into her mouth. --crymad |
