I see the camp is divided into nay and yea! I probably will keep drinking it as I look forward to me cup and fag during the day ...... one of the remaining little pleasure I have left in life
I might however cut back on the huge spoon of sugar I stir in

yeah.. i don't use any sugar in my coffee.. a little cream but no sugar..
there's something about feeling that hot melted sugar on my teeth that i'm just not into..[same goes for coke and other brown sodas.. they make my teeth feel weird afterwards so i generally avoid those as well.]

The problem is not the coffee itself, it is the dose of cafeine you take in every day from all sources.
WHile in the military in a unit medical facility I would work 48 hours and more straight and drink up to thirty cups of coffee every day. That level of consumption would wipe me out today. Chocolate is another source of cafeine as is tea, in fact there is more cafeine in tea in the equivalency stakes, it just takes more coffee to make a cup.
I reckon that cafeine tolerence is something affected by our exposure to the subtance and if you over indulge like I did, you will pay the price too. A little of what you fancy does you good.

If you really like black coffee and would like to cut back on sugar, try a little salt. the small amount of salt that will adhere to a dry finger tip will be all you need and give a much fuller coffee experience. They do this in germany quite a lot.

You could try stirring your coffee with a strip of bacon, everything is better with bacon...just saying.

I put salt in my coffee, when I have it which is not that often. Not much at all, just put the tip of a dry finger ON some salt, you will get a few grains to 'drop' into your coffee.
Seriously nicer than sugar and as I do not add salt to food no imbalance there either. NOT a joke at all.

Bacon is surely best with a fried egg, cheese and a little malt vinegar in toasted wholemeal bread. Yum.
