I Need to Hold You!

I'm not sure if it's the dropping temperatures or if I'm officially addicted to caffeine, but something seems out of place if I don't have my fingers wrapped around a hot cup of something-or-other.
I dig any type of hot beverage. I have an intense tea collection and I brew a cup at least once a day. I also have at least one cup of coffee a day. And if a Crock Pot happens to present itself with a filling of hot apple cider and mulling spices I'll be sure to get a few ladle-fuls. I don't even need to say how I feel about hot chocolate... mmmm ... whipped cream.
Here is my problem... (aside from the fact that I constantly want to dunk sweet bits of cookie into whatever hot brew I'm drinking) is that I feel like a beverage Schitzo. I truly like it all, with or without milk, sugar, cream, decaf, regular, whatever.
Is this normal? I haven't encountered anyone else who seems to not have an extreme preference for what they drink. Mostly everyone I talk to knows exactly how they like it.
"Coffee, black."
"Tea, with sugar. Sometimes milk if it's available."
"I like how coffee smells but not how it tastes. So I drink tea."
"Cigarettes and coffee."
"Green tea, with Stevia." (a natural sweetener)
"Iced tea, I only ever get iced tea with lemon." My response: "Even when it's freezing outside?" "Yup, only iced tea."
So... I need your help! I will be collecting the info and doing something with it. Not sure what exactly but I have to see what the public drinks and why! Please post in the comments what you drink, if you are a male or female and anything you prefer it with. Frequency would be cool too. And by cool I really mean piping HOT!

Ok, ok... I do have a preference. My favorite coffee EVER is Dunkin Donuts with cream and sugar. Happiness in a cup.
But seriously... I'll drink anything. Ok, I have to stop typing my fingers are getting cold.
Let me start with what I don't like. I don't like hot chocolate. The whipped cream on top makes it even worse. And I don't like tea with any kind of cream or milk, etc. I don't like coffee with sugar and I certainly don't like iced tea. And you know what I hate the most? Those loose teas! They should be banned altogether! You go into a tea/coffee house and they don't have tea brewing in one corner of the room, then that shop is a waste of my time!
I'm a 30 year old male who likes his coffee with a little bit of milk. But my first preference is always tea that is BREWED with a little bit of sugar and something salty to eat on the side. And since brewed tea isn't something you can easily find at the office, I stick to my coffee. I probably drink 2-3 cups of coffee a working day.

I don't drink coffee. I drink herbal non-caffeine teas and hot chocolate. And steamers from Wa Wa. I'm a female and drink tea everyday. I have to be in the mood for hot chocolate. And I hardly ever get steamers anymore. I might get one today though.

Tea. Tea. Tea. Black, chai, green, white, or peppermint... they are all great.
I drink about 1 cup a day.

The first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning is coffee. However, by the time I actually get to work I've usually forgotten about it.
When I do remember to partake of the wonders of coffee, I like a really bold brew with lots of cream and just enough Splenda to take the bitterness out.
Hot chocolate when I'm feeling like a splurge, and Sleepy Time tea on winter nights with my mom.

I am a 26-year-old female who works from home. I am one of those "I think coffee smells good, but I don't like it" people.
My morning routine includes putting on the tea kettle for my decaffeinated Twinings English Breakfast tea. I transitioned to decaf last year and haven't looked back. I thoroughly enjoy a steaming hot cup first thing in the morning with a spoonful and a half of sugar and a splash of milk. I couple that with strawberry yogurt and organic oats and honey granola and I am ready to tackle my work day.
Chocolate raspberry coffee with milk and sugar cookies.

Hey Girl!
The best hot drink that I can think of is hot tea!! And if you want the best of the best get the loose leaf tea direct from England! Just remember when drinking tea always milk never sugar!

Coffee about every work day
Iced Tea sometimes when out to eat
Hot Tea (usually Green) when the mood strikes
And Starbucks Mochas when I get the chance (Those are my favorite)
Hot chocolate rules too, but I rarely drink it
No cold coffee beverages of any kind
