Health and Wellness Review

America's love affair with coffee is still going strong! In this survey, 60% of respondents picked coffee over tea.

Only 37% say they prefer tea, and 3% could do without either caffeinated beverage.

Interestingly, men and women voted exactly the same way in this survey. While there's a certain stereotype of a dainty tea-drinking woman, that's hardly universal. "More and more women come in and order triple shots of espresso," said a coffee shop owner.

"People, don't forget your morning coffee!" said one enthusiast. "It's good for you."

Here are some more comments in the caffeine wars:

• "I'd love to get into the habit of drinking tea, for health reasons, but it hasn't happened yet."
• "Coffee has a nicer taste. Tea isn't strong enough."
• "Coffee causes me stomach pain."
• "I like coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon.  I *need* the coffee in the morning, but can do without the tea in the afternoon."
• "Tea quenches your thirst better, and hot tea is so relaxing to drink."
• "I actually like them both, but I enjoy tea more during the winter."
