Got my nickname from coffee... more specifically, the lack thereof.
I've been a coffee drinker since I was maybe 18, in college. I needed to do something to counteract the alcohol abuse of my body the night before, and coffee was it. Then came the military, when college didn't work out so good. Out of the Army, I wandered the East Coast for about four years, working here and there - only constant was a smokin' hot cuppa.
When I finally quit tobacco, I also cut my coffee intake back by about half; occasionally I'll go the whole pot, but mostly down to about half a pot a day.
