Minutiae

At some point, I will learn to sip coffee instead of drinking it as quickly as I would water.

For that matter, at some point I will learn to drink water slowly instead of emptying the glass as quickly as possible so I can get back to whatever I was doing before deciding to drink some water.

I've mastered the art of sipping alcoholic beverages, with the aid of some operant conditioning. (I have a very low alcohol tolerance and generally start buzzing after consuming less than 1/10 a standard serving of booze. Forgetting to sip slowly leads to much unpleasantness.)

I won't drink coffee if it's hot enough to burn my mouth, so I don't get the temperature-based encouragement for small sips. Therefore I usually drain my mug quickly, then five minutes later look around and wonder where my coffee went.

It must be hereditary. I also routines whine and throw little temper tantrums when I discover that the coffee pot is empty.

(And I'm the only one home)

I'm sensitive enough to caffeine that I'm allowed one cup in the morning, one after noon, and that's it. Every now I'll get an especially large serving of coffee, drink it down like it's water because I'm not really paying attention, and then be wired for hours.
