Finding Alternatives To Coffee

Lots of people dislike coffee, and there are a variety of reasons for this; for some, they do not like the way coffee affects them; for others, coffee has more caffeine than they want; and of course, some people simply do not like the taste. If you are not wanting to drink coffee yourself, but are still wanting a bit of an energy boost each day, it helps to be aware of some of the alternatives to coffee.

Tea is a great alternative to try if the reason you dislike coffee is because the caffeine content in coffee is too high for you. Tea is a nice, hot drink that is nice to enjoy on those afternoons when your friends are all drinking coffee, and with it you will have a much lower caffeine content. In fact, with tea, you even have the choice between green tea (which has less caffeine) and black tea (which has more caffeine) - each of which has significantly less caffeine than coffee.

If the reason you do not like coffee is because of the taste, rather than because of the caffeine content, energy drinks just might be the right choice for you. The most effective energy drink for most people is Red Bull, and you can even have sugar-free Red Bull if you do not want the sugar. In fact - because of the "sugar crash" that can plague you with regular Red Bull - many people find that sugar-free Red Bull works even better for them.

And of course, Five Hour Energy is a great option if you want to avoid both the sugar crash and the high caffeine content. Five Hour Energy - unlike both Red Bull and (for some people) coffee - will not give you a sudden burst of energy if you are on the verge of sleep. But with Five Hour Energy, you will feel more alert and awake for hours if you take it on a regular, sluggish afternoon - and you will feel this way without feeling like you have taken anything at all!

For every different reason a person might have for not drinking coffee, there are available alternatives. If you have been thinking about trying to stay away from coffee yourself, check out these three alternatives; you just might find that one of them is a perfect fit for you!
