Yerba maté (that's what it's called - @Linebaugh wasn't just being over familiar) is a plant with caffeine in it from South America that people make into a drink. It's extremely bitter and frankly disgusting.

Club Mate = good shit 👍 #clubbin #Berlin

In Hopscotch he makes a new cup of mate every two minutes.
Apparently the England football team drink it now as well.

you can toss your own herbs in there with a little honey and thats pretty tasty, but I was originally talking about the canned stuff like Guayaki or Clean, which is delicious and tastes nothing like what you brew yourself.

 

[linebaugh]

No what's Yerba?

 

[WashYourHands]

Looks like stale piss.

Caffeine is horrible, why would you drink something that's tastes horrible and makes you feel like shit.

It makes you feel like God unless you are weak and frail in which case it overwhelms you and makes you 'feel like shit.' Powerful conquerers like it as a rule.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Taking enough caffeine to get an appreciable "high" from it is generally pretty unpleasant. If you want to perk yourself up and be productive, a small dose of an amphetamine is more pleasant and probably less bad for you.

 

[muser]

Noone enjoys caffeine

 

[muser]

I only drink it every morning because I have a mild addiction and coffee tastes delicious.

 

[luka]

Decent coffee tastes good, but I don't have more than two in a sitting. Then again, I suppose I brew it fairly strong. Don't understand the American thing of continually drinking coffee throughout the day.

[yyaldrin]

coffee is horrible and disgusting. i drink one a day but it's just a ritual really. the thing i always found strange is that it's the countries that can't produce coffee who consume the most.

 

[luka]

Well it's an export market

 

[luka]

But there's no doubt it's a capitalist drug Ehichnisnth point I was making
