I like black coffee and bitter beers.

I already knew you were, and yes it takes one to know one. I didn't start drinking coffee until I was about 25 and specifically decided when I started (at work) to drink it black. I'll drink it with or without stuff in it, my wife is lucky as I am the least picky eater and drinker you'll meet. Makes life easier.

In other news, people who like a bitter taste are more likely to respond in a humorous or sarcastic manner to survey questions.

While many of us can't live without our morning cup of joe, it's also hard to imagine just drinking it straight without any added milk or sugar. After all, who wants to sip on such a bitter-tasting drink, especially very early in the morning??
Well, I did want to Rock-smack the person that wrote that. Maybe they are on to something.

If you're used to having coffee in the AM, not having it can predispose you to a headache later in the day.
Not unusual for my patients to say, "Anesthetics give me a headache..."

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Caffeine headache. I thought everyone knew about those?

The same thing goes for beer

What I like to do is find a boomer at Starbucks and start a timer. I start talking to them, and find out how long it takes them to tell me just how black and dark they like their coffee, without any sugar because they never use sugar.
Bonus points if you can get them talking about oat milk all on their own.

Oh man, I love black coffee. The darker the better. No creamer for me. But if I did use cream, it would be heavy cream. No 1% or skim milk for me. What’s the point? And Almond Milk? For fuck’s sake, how do you milk an almond? I’ve never seen any teats on a nut. What’s that on the menu? Oatmilk? I don’t mind a little milk on my oatmeal… No brown sugar though. Oats, milk, and a few blueberries. Maybe some nuts, but none with teats, please.

That's pretty much how it goes.

Off topic but on topic, I use exclusively synthetic oil. Better for your engine, fewer oil changes per year.
My daughter likes oat milk. She used to drink almond milk but switched.
Aqua, I am a friendly person in lines, but I would never talk about what I order. And it would be a rarity for me to stand in line at Starbucks.

Well my thing wasn't entirely literal, I was just messing around.
But okay, a lot closer to the truth: I do have these conversations, but usually it's at Panera, not Starbucks. Because of the daytime clientele.During the day, the folks in Starbucks are asshole kids hogging the wifi to work on their screenplays or whatever, out-of-town suits who are also hogging up the wifi, the odd real estate/contractor meeting and the odd retiree.
During the day, the folks in Panera are, exclusively, addicts working their NA or AA program with their sponsor, bible study groups, and retiree meetups. ...The line between each of these is a little blurred sometimes, too.

I mean, it's really the same process used by dairy farmers and cows. First you take the almonds (or oats) and mix them with water in a blender. Maybe add a little salt or any other ingredients you want. Then once thoroughly blended, strain out the liquid. Like I said, pretty much the same thing farmers do with cows.

It's almond juice.
It's similar to what you get if you milk a male cow.
I was only joking

Same here. I am 95% dairy free now. Used to drink whole milk and eat a lot of cheese.
Now I am not drinking milk at all. I use oat milk in the occasional bowl of cereal.

Please do not elaborate. I am not the least bit curious as to how exactly you know this.

I hang around with the boys at Panera. They told me about this guy's sister...
