I have acid reflux and am not able to take caffeine, I think this is a big determinant to playing this game. How important is caffeine to WITP players?

A mouse comes in handy, but that would be a distant third to caffiene and beer.

I have a steady supply of mountain dew (very high in caffeine) available at all times. Then again I've been addicted to it since the early 80's so it may just be habit for me now ...

I second that![:D]

I too have ARD. I drink hot cocoa instead of coffee. Works for me.

Acid reflux SUCKS! I can't believe that I, still quite a young man, [8|] also have this problem. I find that Famotidine (generic OTC Pepcid AC) pretty much takes care of it, regardless of how I may abuse my gut. Far superior to Mylanta, which causes diarrhea.[:@][:(]

/old guy going to bed now, having given up on getting another turn

coffee for morning turns, beer for turns at any other time of the day [:D]

I have ARD also but drink coffee that is cold brewed and then filtered, when I want it i just mix water with the concentrate for a less acidic cup of Joe, works really well too. Couldn't do WIPT without coffee[:D]

Coffee? Who needs cofee? [;)]

P.S.
Personally I don't drink cofee at all (I can drink it but I see no reason why since it does nothing to me: in the morning I am fully awake when I open my eyes and no "artificial" waking up afterwards is needed - late at night I can stay awake without any "artificial" additions as well).

Beer and Coffee taste like crap. Diet soft drinks and prozac are my necessities. [:D]

(That last little smiley would be much better if it showed the smiley burping afterwards.)

You must have a stomach of iron. Smoking is bad for your lungs though. [:)]

Ditto ,, tried to give up a few days back and it went horribly wrong ! .. also red wine gets me though some weekend evenings too !

Madmickey,
I'm a sprite 34 and am also plagued by ARD and I eat chili laden food a lot (guess now why I have a problem). I've heard soaking ginger root in water awhile, then juicing it into a highly concentrated juice, then fridging it can help. Take a teaspoon once a day and it is suppose to rebuild the stomach lining w/o, I might add, giving up any bad habits. I think the only setback is getting a juicer, which could be a useless appliance if you only drink coffee or soda! Look online for techniques, god meant us to drink coffee and beer!

ps. My fiancee is a sudo-nutrionist(sp) and she says a Banana before you drink coffe might help as well, good luck, never give up the black gold!

The best beverage companion to a session of WITP is a small glass with Crown Royal.

mmmmm...

Join the club. My stomach has been toast since I was 31. I find that WiTP keeps me plenty stimulated without the forbidden caffine.[X(]

I read and have found that chewing gum helps limit/control the reflux.

My morning turns run with coffee, evening with wine usually, beer occasionally or sometimes I try out something from the Savoy Bar Book.

My turns seem to be of consistent quality regardless of the beverage. However the handful of really memorable quotes in my posts all happened while I was drinking alcohol.

I consider this relevant genius!
