Every man knows that BEER leads to vision loss.”

And that’s a fact. Give some guys several beers and watch what they try to hit on.

"Every man knows that BEER leads to vision loss.” "And that’s a fact. Give some guys several beers and watch what they try to hit on" That's the problem when we put on our "beer goggles!" On another note, here are the results and conclusion from the actual article: Results. Compared with participants whose cumulatively updated total caffeine consumption was <125 mg/day, participants who consumed ≥500 mg/day had a trend toward increased risk of EG/EGS that was not statistically significant (RR = 1.43; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.98–2.08); P trend = 0.06). Compared to abstainers, those who drank ≥3 cups of caffeinated coffee daily were at increased risk of EG/EGS (RR = 1.66; 95% CI, 1.09–2.54; P trend = 0.02). These results were not materially altered after adjustment for total fluid intake. Associations were stronger among women with a family history of glaucoma (P interaction = 0.06 for coffee; P interaction = 0.03 for caffeine). We did not find associations with consumption of other caffeinated products (caffeinated soda, caffeinated tea, decaffeinated coffee or chocolate) and risk of EG/EGS (P trend ≥0.31). Conclusions. We observed a positive association between heavier coffee consumption with risk of EG/EGS in this large prospective study.

Sorry. It reformatted during posting.

“P interaction = 0.06 for coffee; P interaction = 0.03 for caffeine”

Maybe the problem is not the caffeine.

My experience is that the tannins in the dark roasts enlarge my prostrate after about three days of 3 cups per day. When I stop, the problem goes away. I tried decaf dark roast and it did not reduce.

I’ve loved coffee since a very young child when my parents would give me the empty eight o’clock coffee bag after they dumped the fresh ground coffee into the canister on the counter. I would place the bag over my mouth and breathe the wonderful aroma. It was heaven. Been addicted ever since!

You won’t drink my coffee.
I’ll drink your coffee, but it tends to taste burned.

Admittedly, my coffee gunks up coffee makers and makes them sound possessed.

[Brad’s Gramma]

LOL!!!

[Darksheare]

Had an ancient Corningware percolator.
It always made perfect coffee.
Would still use it if it weren’t a fire hazard.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Wow...is THAT a blast from the past!!!

[Darksheare]

They don’t make coffee makers like that anymore.
Now they’re cheap seriously wimped down deals that choke and gag on a good day.

I was curious too! I put in a leading space before every font setting which if removed will duplicate the cute technique. Of course you need to count in hex ...

southernnorthcarolina ... I waited for you to step in but we like to help our FRiends around here ...

BTW - Nice house, nice car, nice dogs, nice place - can you color me slightly jealous? ;-)

Then my mother lied........

[annieokie]

Thanks. That is a lot of work, but it gave us all so much fun.

Now, the question would be, who figured that out? I'm impressed.

[Tunehead54]

Just cut and paste your font settings, 000000 = black, ffffff = white, but ingeniously it was perfect for the post and humorously presented. IMHO.

I’m not questioning who may or may not have too much time on their hands ... ;-)

When I was a boy, my dad walked into my room one day while I was drinking coffee. He said, "If you keep doing that, you're gonna go blind."

I said, "Dad, I'm over here."
