Those of you who said coffee, do you drink industrial quantities, or do you think any coffee counts as a vice? Because I feel exactly zero guilt about my almost-daily lattes.

Baked goods are my downfall for sure. I'm not into sugar in soda or candy format more than the occasional treat, but it's so hard for me to keep my consumption of cookies and cakes at the level I'd like.

I don't feel bad at all about the coffee, but I do feel a small tinge of guilt about the sugar that I put in the coffee.

Wine. I drink it every day. I can’t imagine life without it and I mostly have one or two glasses. I don’t like any other kind of alcohol. I love coffee but one or two cups is perfect. I don’t like sugar or soda

[irene adler]

Diet Coke. It is my safety blanket

Drinking a pot of coffee a day (minimum). Anyone who has heard me try to put sentences together before this happens will not find this surprising

Must have a cup of tea every morning, and not some herbal shit. Strong, caffeinated tea.

I also have a shameful addiction to Zero Carb Rock Star, but only before I teach classes. I just like the way it revs me up and I only drink half the can. Lately I think it gives me heart palpitations so I only have it if I’m really dragging, which I was this morning.

What is your favorite tea? I'm with you--no herbal stuff (ok, some green tea occasionally).

Same here with the tea! I make a quadruple-bag yerba mate most mornings. Amazingly, I do not appear to have a caffeine addiction since the days I don't have it I'm perfectly fine. I just like my super strong, super bitter tea in the mornings.

[wambam]

An obscene amount of coffee. I am trying to cut back because there’s a direct relationship between how much coffee I drink and how bad my anxiety is.

[woowoo]

Sugar in my coffee, but I do only have one large cup each morning before the gym (which is how I justify it).

And Red Wine. So much love for a glass of good red wine.

Tazo “Awake” English Breakfast is my favorite!

Salty snacks, specifically pretzels. Especially those flat pretzel crisps with everything seasoning on them.

Dark chocolate covered almonds

My sweet tooth has morphed into a salty tooth in my old age it seems.

[arch01]

My daily iced coffee from Starbucks with the classic syrup.
My nightly drink. Though I probably need to cut back on this.

Sugar and crunchy, salty snacks (like chips).

Same. I have no will power with either. 

[laurack]

Beer I suppose. I love new England IPAs

I drink coffee every day but I don't consider that a vice as it doesn't have adverse effects, I just drink 2 cups black (or 1 large from a coffee shop) each morning.

I also enjoy candy, chocolate, fried foods etc. but I think beer is my biggest weakness. I'm trying to reduce consumption of it so I can drop a couple of lbs for summer.

[keweenawlove]

I have a major sweet tooth for just about anything. I can't buy peach rings because I'll eat the whole bag.
My "normal" is dark chocolate and red wine so it's heart healthy, right?

I feel zero guilt about coffee or lattes with no sugar. Sometimes I feel like an afternoon one makes me feel full and keeps me from eating anything else. 

[itsme]

I'm a snacker. It takes a lot of willpower to keep me away.

[andreay82]

Chips and salsa, wine, chocolate. Coffee is necessary to live my life and I drink it black. Thus it is not a vice, even if it's likely a true addiction:)

[andreay82]

I drink about 20oz. of coffee on any given day. More like 3/4 of a pot if we're chillaxing at home on a cold day.

[wineandcheese]

Wine, candy and tortilla chips. I’ve cut back on the candy and tortilla chips but the wine has been the hard one. We go wine tasting, brewery tasting or to our favorite winery every weekend. We have cut down on what we drink at home.

[niq]

Right now? Sleep. Lol.

[lilles]

Diet Pepsi
Trader Joe’s version of Doritos

Candy. Any kind. Any time of day

Yep. Candy. And pie. And alcohol.

See, I don't actually view this as bad. 😊 I either drink my coffee black or occasionally with a touch of whole milk. I figure it's practically a health food compared to the sweets I eat.

[bullygirl979]

Oof. Um, well there's coffee, wine/beer, cheese, salty things, desserts. And pizza. I have ZERO self control around pizza.

[shauni27]

I am so glad taratru said booze so I didn't have to be the first one. Vodka for sure.

[sweetptater]

Coffee - I drink it black and, as @emilyinchili said, in industrial quantities. My goal this month was to stop drinking it after noon. I was drinking 1-2 cups during my post-lunch slump, in addition to the pot+ in the morning. I guess it could be worse....

Wine and beer - but god-forbid I like the low-calorie lite beers, nope, dark craft beers are my jam. And red wine. Both of these are quantity issues as well, vs. the drink itself. I can't just have one.

Obsessed. A few local breweries are making some really good NE IPA's right now. Definitely my new favorite style. 

[emilyinchile]

Aaah see, I start to feel like I'm going to die if I have more than 2 cups of coffee, which is why I sort of forget that some people mainline the stuff. There are definitely lazy weekends when I could happily go for a third in terms of taste and feel (because weekend + coffee + reading is the beeeeest), but I know better.

PS. I just ate a cookie as breakfast dessert. My vice was not a lie.

Haha, yes, I had a cappuccino this morning on an empty stomach and I felt like I was going to vibrate apart.
