Coffee losing popularity among younger people

Link

I find this interesting because I've never loved coffee or anything, but I've always avoided energy drinks because:

1. I feel like I consume too much sugar as it is.

2. I don't like the idea of drinking some manufactured concoction every morning.

I just can't drink coffee, tastes terrible.

i'm a young person and its 5:30 am over here and i'm drinking a nice cup of Moccona and its prob one of the best things that happens to me every morning

I didn't bother reading the link. But I'm not surprised with the rise of popularity of all the energy drinks.

Good. There's enough people addicted to that crap as it is.

Coffee is a good pick-me-up, what's worse is a drink like Four Loko.

Good. More for me.

Not a surprise. Most kids prefer energy drinks. They'll go coffee when they get older.

I've never really enjoyed it but it definitely grew on me, I think it's safe to call it an aquired taste. Even still, I always need to add some cream or it's pretty harsh.

Unsweetened tea is just as bitter...as tea is better with sugar, lemon, and ice, so coffee is with cream and sugar.

A good cup of coffee is better than a good cup of tea. A bad cup of coffee is much much MUCH worse than a bad cup of tea.

I hate coffee. I used to think it was because of the lower quality of cheaper products but I changed my mind after an 8 euro espresso labeled in a known shop as the "some of the highest quality possible" in Austria.

I used to drink coffee and energy drinks all the time. I've since learned to deal with my sleepiness by you know like getting more sleep or taking a nap. In my mind there's no reason to spend money on nasty **** to put in my body.

I disagree as I don't mind unsweetened tea. It is bitter but not near compared to how bitter unsweetened coffee can be. Perhaps though it is the variety of coffee I have tasted as I am sure thats a factortestfactor888

That's why flavored coffees are so successful.:)

Drinking coffee plain is just asking for punishment...your taste buds will always let you know.:lol:

I'm in my early 20s and drink coffee almost every morning and then once in the afternoon.

Disgusting. I have a daily stout or three instead.

Doesn't surprise me at all. I barely know anyone anymore that drinks it. No one from my department does here at work...and we're developers.

I like black coffee, just don't drink it very often.

i hate coffee

I guess the American obsession with coffee is like the British obsession with tea. I drink neither. I drink the occasional energy drink though, but not like people seem to drink coffee/tea as an essential part of their day.cjek

I drink coffee three times daily and I'm in good shape. I can't get enough of it.rcignoni

This is why the younger generation can't get anything done :xxaos

Beer makes the world go around, coffee is rubbish.

i hate the smell of coffee.

However I have noticed more people around the age 16-18 have started smoking cigarettes alot, so this may not be a good thing.

C'mon young people; coffee's the best.
Go get yourself a double-double at Tim Horton's and tell me that isn't good.

I never drink coffee or energy drinks

I don't drink either, but I did try getting into coffee early on, some time in high school. I just don't believe the need some people have for an energy drink, I've only seen a couple people at work drink them, I don't know anybody else that cares for or craves an energy drink...ever.
