Why do people act like coffee in the morning is such a sacred routine but soda in the morning [basically the same drink] is lowbrow and unhealthy? (lemmy.world)

If you ain't chugging the glass of water off your night stand as the very first drink of the morning, y'all are missing out.

After that, I have a NOS. Energy Drinks are the socially acceptable morning beverage that isn't coffee. Or orange juice. Or milk.

That's how I got my first and hopefully last kidney stone.
