I am an addict.

[Costas2008]

For the last 5 years, I have been addicted to the 20Baht or 25Baht ice coffee.

Or “Café Bouran” as called in Issan, where I live.

The effects of that ice coffee, being full of sugar, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and little coffee are spectacular on me.

I have developed, life savers, around my waste and started getting manboobs.

But, it tastes sooooooo good, I can’t stop drinking it.

Anybody else, in the same situation?

Should we have a Coffee Anonymous forum?

Please, tell me, I’m not the only one.

And sitting behind the computer posting on TVF all day doesnt help either.....if it bothers you ofcourse.

I would be more concerned with your cholesterol level if I were you.

Just a thought.

[Cam Khao]

I too love the stuff.

[robertthebruce]

You should ask for no Sugar..., at least it's a start..... But I do agree it is nice... I have cut down dramatically and done some exercise and notice a difference...

[MrWorldwide]

I like iced coffee - Farang-style - but Cafe Yen (sp?) is too sweet for me. They really overdo the condensed milk and that cant be good for you, sadly.

Yes, between other jobs, benalibina.

Don't forget I'm "domesticated" enough.

Thanks Charlie, but never had cholesterol problems.

But, it is a very good advice.

I though it was about being a forum addict.

No such thing btw.

i have never understood getting addicted to coffee. I do like the taste with milk and sugar, but that makes most things taste good and black coffee is like medicine to me. I drink coffee to wake up in the morning and that is about it and if I drink it every day, I get headaches for a few days when I stop. To each his own I guess.

That's my next thread, kris.

When I finish my iced coffee.

It seems you do understand the addiction.

If his man boobs are small, would they lactate condensed milk?

Good point.

That's like the poster who suggested that dried fruit was the best type to plant during the drought!

Oi, Oi, this thread is not about manboobs, but coffee addiction..............I will live to regret this.

Yes, I agree.

Whey too much.

[sotsira]

Start making your own traditional Frappe like a true Greek would.

If you like it sweet then use sweetener instead of sugar, and if you like it

with milk then use 0% fat milk.

That should cut down the boobs and lifesavers on the waist!

Yes, I am aware of that.

That's why, I am already cutting down on coffee.

And that's why I started this thread, to seek help from others, because it is an addiction, and will have repercussions in my future.

I drink coffee to wake up in the morning and that is about it and if I drink it every day, I get headaches for a few days when I stop. To each his own I guess.

I don't get the addiction either, though, clearly many *are* addicted. I wonder if it's more psychological than physical. Like you, I like a morning coffee to properly wake myself up. I might have a second one in the afternoon, but not always. Once a year, I go a week without coffee to ensure I can do without. I don't feel any different that week, though am glad to be getting back to my routine at the end of it.

The OP has alerted me to something: I usually have my sugarless coffee (with a dash of milk) with something sweet, like a banana or a home-made musli bar, or peanut butter and jelly on toast. During my coffee-less week, I still have that, but with a glass of warm water instead.

Could it be that the addiction is to the sweetness, rather than the caffeine?
