Reply To: Imagine a World Without Coffee!

When I was a bochur in yeshiva, someone once said over in the name of Rabbi Avigdor Miller zt”l that he felt people rely too much on their daily coffee and it can be detrimental (note what happens by a fast day to coffee addicts). He said before davening he would drink a cup of cold refreshing water instead, y’know just to get the ‘ol body going, and that was good enough. I decided then and there to do the same. I always drink water before running out to shacharis. I only drink coffee occasionally.
