The taste of coffee never did anything for me until I learend to appreciate the caffeine--an acquired taste, like tobacco. But I'd hate like the dickens to only have soft drinks available in the morning.

When I was in the Navy, we would sometimes start the day with a Dr. Pepper from the barracks vending machine before hiking to the mess hall, where there was proper coffee and breakfast--chocolate milk at breakfast was one of my fondest memories of military service, along with making 50 or 60 pounds of bacon at a time while mess cooking. Of course, when you're working the breakfast watch in the enlisted mess, you have to report for duty at 0400. :-)
