Yeah, they gave me the same story about smoking cigarettes. I'm 6'2".
My take on it is- can you imagine how tall you would be if it was true and you didn't do what they said would stunt your growth? :p

I have about 15 cups, of my 8 oz size coffee mugs everyday. I love it. I can drink it right before a nap or before my night time sleep and have no problem with it. It relaxes me. If I can't sleep I get up and have a cup of coffee, DH too. How weird is that?

I drink tea as medicine. If I have a tummy ache, or tummy bug, it constipates me. If I have a cold, I take a tea hot-toddy, (with lemon, sugar and a shot of booze). Stops the cold dead in it's tracks most of the time, or brings down a fever with 2 aspirin at bedtime.

Even as a child of 11, I drank coffee in our house. Maybe it was a nationality thing or something.

Thanks for the article wkikta. :)
