>Are you a transplanted Southerner? When I lived in Atlanta, I couldn't believe how many people had Coke instead of coffee in the morning!! I love Diet Coke and guzzle it regularly and excessively ... but not first thing in the morning. And oh, BTW, in the South, all soda is referred to as "Coke" whether that's the brand or not.

No, but I did live in the south for a couple of years. I just don't like coffee.
