In my 20s and 30s, I was an expresso coffee drinker. using the tiny demi-tasse cups made for expresso. There IS a reason why thse cups are so tiny.
Once I hit my late 30s and turned 40, expresso began to bother my stomach and my nerves. If you came up behind me and called my name, depending on your decible level, you would either have to dig my fingernails out of the ceiling tiles,or use a spatula to scrap me off the ceiling!
So now it is one cup of decaffeinated French-vanilla in the morning, and one cup of herbal tea during the course of the day, with water as my main beverage. I keep a 24 oz, (710 mL) bottle of water on my desk in the morning, which is emptied by noon.
For variety, you can add a slice of lemon or lime to your water. Water equivalents:
3 oz cup of jello = 1/2 cup of water
1 cup of strawberry halves = 3/4 cup water
1 cup of carrots = 2/3 cup water

Catty, I agree with you--everything in moderation. That sounds like a good plan.
