Coffee. Black and strong enough to stand up and fight me. If the spoon stands up, it's too weak. If it starts to dissolve, that's better, but when that spoon jumps out of the mug and runs away screaming in mortal agony, it's PERFECT. I quit smoking years ago for financial reasons. Opiates I was able to put aside once back surgery alleviated most of the pain which had made them necessary. I enjoy beer but can live without it. If a study tells me that coffee causes cancer or something, my reply will be "So who wants to live forever?" A man needs at least one crutch.
