What Breakfast Gets You Going? 365
Crash McBang asks: "Apparently many are foregoing the morning coffee for something sweeter, according to a recent article in RedOrbit. 'There is nothing better than the feel of Coke on the back of your throat in the morning,' said McKinsey, a morning pop drinker since the 1970s, savoring the cold, stinging sensation that coffee drinkers just don't get. What gets you going after waking up?"

It seems that having soft drinks for breakfast is quite unhealthy, lowers your attention span, etc.
Here's the source [youngminds.org.uk] (but I'm sure there are many other sources that say the same thing).

Irish Coffee (Score:5, Informative)
Sorry to nitpick, but Irish Coffee is actually neat Whisky mixed with Cane Sugar, after which Black Coffee is poured on. Finally the mixture is topped with Double Cream whipped till slightly thick. This makes a lovely looking glass with half the liquid almost black and the other half almost white. When you drink it the two parts start mixing.
Interestingly it's also a relatively new invention, not much more than 50 years old.
Ruination of good Coffee and good Whisky as my dad always says ;o)

Irish have the highest per head consumption of Tea in the world (according to news reports about two or three years ago). We consume about 3kg of Tea each a year(1996-1998 period).
Here are some stats for those who are interested: http://www.tea.org.au/world/sub2.html [tea.org.au]
Oh...and when pouring it's tea first, then milk. Any expert who talks about chemical bonding when coming to tea are either talking out of their South of England hole, using very delicate cups or using milk at the wrong temperature.
(yes...I like tea, and am talking about Assam-based blends mostly.)

Also Whisky is how the Scottish spell it (I'm also a Whisky buff). If its spelt with an 'e' then its not Scottish. The Americans and Irish spell it with a 'e' although I've seen the occasional 'Whisky' spelling over there. As far as I'm concerned, both spelling are correct Whisky is the fine Scottish dram while Whiskey is the related Irish and American spirits. However occasionally North American whiskeys misspell their name as whisky. Btw the way I like it in a article "What Breakfast Gets You Going", we're already talking about whisky
