What age should you start drinking coffee?!


Question:

What age should you start drinking coffee?

Also... will you start to like it at that age?


Answers:
3 days. And probably

You shouldn't drink coffee at all, it's not good. Hold off as long as you can.

You can start at any age - but a good one would be 14 or so. It takes a while to get used to it, so you can add more cream and sugar until you do.

Cheers!

There's no age requirement. Either you like it or you don't. I love Starbucks- Vanilla Frappacuino...but, I don't care for coffee.

I started when I was about 14

As soon as you start having hangovers

Try not to start at all...it not good for you and addictive, but if you really must, i would say teenagerish. And most people don't even like the taste after the first try. Kind of one of those aquired things.

Blech! Don't drink that stuff at all. It'll stain your teeth.

if you don't have to drink it DON'T it isn't good for you at all, and no it will always taste the same!

I think you shouldn't start drinking anything that you will begin to depend on. I'm 26 and still haven't started drinking coffee. I still hate the taste, but I love to smell it.

13 is pretty good because you are the right age and it gives you energy, which you definitely need at school.

18

not till your are in highschool. It is not that good for you and becomes addictive`

I am 23 years old and never had a full cup of coffee.

I tasted it when I was 5 years old, but didn't like it. Caffiene is bad for me anyway. Bad for my heart.

At that age when you woke up in the morning but don't realize it.

I started in colege ... a lot of study :(

Why bother starting. Stick with tea. It's healthier and has more nutritional properties. Coffee isn't reallt something you just...start drinking. If I had to give a number I'd say 15-16 yrs old.

I WOULD SAY AT FOUR YEARS OLD

I GIVE MY DUMB LITTLE NEPHEWS COFFEE ALL THE TIME WHEN I BABYSIT THEM....BUT I DO IT RIGHT BEFORE I KNOW MY SISTER IS GETTING HOME

THAT WAY, SHE HAS TO DEAL WITH HER KIDS ALL JACKED UP ON CAFFEINE KNOCKING STUFF OVER AND TEARING OFF THE CURTAINS AND STUFF

ITS KINDA FUNNY.

Well I personally started drinking coffee in college I think at 18-19 years old. It helped me stay focuses i the morning and evening classes.. After a while I sort of grew to like it.
Of course it tastes terrible without sugar=)

My grandma used to make me coffee and buttered crackers to eat while I watched saturday morning cartoons... I'd say I was between 5 - 10 years old. YUM!

i would never start drinking coffee its bad for your health, your teeth, and your wallet. You may become addicted to the caffeine....crazy as it sounds it is true.

um i think coffe in general for any and everybody is harmful. although i don't think there should be a age to actually start, people of all ages should be able to say 'i want some coffee' and have it given to them.

now, coffee is the fountain of youth.

As soon as you realize you like the taste of coffee.

Shouldn't ever really drink coffee, its bad for your health. I've never drank any coffee before and I am much healthier than my friends who do drink it.

Why else do they tell pregnant or nursing mothers to avoid it at all costs.

i don't know about when you should start, but if you don't like it, then you probably won't like it later, unless you drink it a lot and get yourself used to it. i wish i liked coffee because it smells soooooooooo good, but sadly i don't.

personally, you shouldnt drink coffee regularly.
? everyone likes coffee at a "certain" age.
some people dont like it at all.
anyway...
coffee stunts your growth.
& for every cup of coffee you have.
you need to drink a bottle of water
just to cancel out the horrible amounts of caffeine in youre body.
if you need a pick me up in the morning.
drink tea. or eat an apple.
apples give you just as much alert as a cup of coffee...
but the apple is better for you.

Vice versa: don't necessarily start drinking it at any age, until you *do* like it, if ever. I happen to like it alot! I started at 14. When I was 12, I thought it was the awfulest stuff around.

coffee is not good for you...some parents let there kids drink it. I feel that is wrong. Just dont do it
