No way, man who does mind work needs more than man who does physical work. Our brains need a power plant to function! ;) That's why all those nerds are skinny even though they sit down all day and eat junk food.

xsacha, mind work of course needs a lot of energy, but physical work needs a lot of more energy.

Tea drinkers may live a longer life, but they don't enjoy it as much :P
Besides, how are we going to test that? Productivity is much easier to test for.Denis: I wonder, mind work + physical work? Does anyone exercise while doing mind work? Maybe sit on an exercise/gym ball (that you have to balance on) while coding?
PS. What do you people in Liechenstein drink? They "live longer":http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=wb-wdi&met=sp_dyn_le00_in&idim=country:JPN&dl=en&hl=en&q=average+lifespan+of+japanese#met=sp_dyn_le00_in&idim=country:JPN:HKG:CHE:LIE:ITA, on average, than Japanese.

xsacha, the best is to have mind work, phys work, mind work, phys work, etc. It is recommended by all med people I know.

xsacha, not sure that both will be done good if they will be done together

Denis: You haven't mentioned which type of poison (I guess some sort of coffee) you drink :P And do you drink it every day?
I personally will only have it when I feel it's needed (feeling really tired, not motivated or can't concentrate) - or if I'm meeting someone related to my research. Actually, I feel like one now.
If I'm out meeting someone I'll have a cuppucinno. -
xsacha, I've drinked coffee some years ago (but not much, 3 cups a day max). Now I'm mostly drinking tea and drink coffee very rare (let's say 1 cup per month). Also sometimes use cola instead of tea.

I've always been in to normal coffee's with milk.
That was until I went to France for a while (conferences).
The only coffee they supplied was black. No milk. I asked the guys there where the milk was.. you know.. for the coffee. They told me they don't drink cat pee.
I got used to this sort of coffee and drank it for a while after but I'm back to coffee with milk :) Mostly because it lasts longer and keeps you warm longer and I think I need whatever protein is in the milk to stop my muscles wasting away :P. -
double espresso for toning up (do you have kids who wake you up in the night? ;)
green tea for a usual drink -

Last month I discovered I can't drink espresso in the US :-P
Capuccino saved me :-) -
In Spain very few people drink tea... and I was one of the lucky ones whose girlfriend is an avid tea drinker. :)
I never liked coffee, unless I added another cup of sugar, but I discovered good tea when I had a holiday on London, and now I have a huge amount and variety of tea.
We also have a nespresso, but I mostly drink decaf.
Why all this caffeine consumption? Well, my girlfriend is a nurse and works at the night shift. :)
BTW, tea also has caffeine. All books that I've found about tea, none mentions "teine" or something like that. A wikipedia check seems to confirm.
