There is one name that should be strong, sure, and familiar to all Christians: Ippolito Aldobrandini. You may know him by his more familar name, Pope Clement VIII. Supposedly (and this is a big supposition) in the midst of fiery accusations about the nature of coffee--"it's satan's brew, devil's juice, heathen's elixir, pagan's cuppa," and so on--he decided to taste it and decide for himself. His verdict: tastes great (must of had a french press). He quickly 'baptized' the drink, forever changing the course of Christianity. Just think, if it were not for this decision, I would probably be sitting here with a glass of water, or worse, a cup of tea. And with your mind's eye try and imagine the narthex of your average Vineyard Church if Aldobrandini had not made such a decision--impossible.

hey man, there's nothing wrong with tea. it's not a diuretic either, so if you want to retain your, umm, composure then you should switch to tea. or matte. i switched from coffee to matte. pixie matte latte from concentrate. yum.
sidenote: i haven't given up irish coffee... even better
I have a yerba matte gourd-like thing... is that what your talking about?
yeah, you need a good gourd, brown barleywine, and two shakes of a unicorn's tail... oh wait, that's for something else.
