I have to say "Water", although I think I'm allergic to it. If I drink a few liters of anything, even with as little as 4% water in it, my head hurts really bad the next morning. -- Time flies when you don't know what you're doing	[reply]

Is it possible to consume coffee without a cigarette?! Seems to me caffeine && nicotine should be listed as: caffeine && nicotine But, then again, the same could probably said about alcohol && cigarettes. :P #!/usr/bin/perl -Tw use perl::always; my $perl_version = "5.12.4"; print $perl_version;	[reply]

I can personally attest, that nicotine consumption is NOT required for either of those activities. Neither caffeine or alcohol consumption require it.	[reply]

That would go a bit too far in emulating the old mechanical buttons that you could indeed press several at a time, usually doing something both unexpected and useless.	[reply]

Back when I had time to think about such things, the four categories were salt sugar grease caffeine Due to this truth, a pizza served with a 2-liter bottle of Coke comprise a balanced meal -- the former meets the salt and grease requirements, while the latter provides sugar and caffeine. Alcohol is a garnish, and should be enjoyed as such.	[reply]

I chose water, although strictly speaking not a nutrient. Had vitamins and/or minerals been on the list (excluding sodium, which typically isn't lacking in a 'modern' diet), I would have chosen that instead, simply because it would be the correct answer.	[reply]
