Kind of digressing a bit, but anyone know why coffee is called "joe"?

A cup of joe. The term originates from former U.S. Navy Secretary Josephus Daniels; when Daniels banned alcohol from Navy vessels, soldiers instead drank coffee and grudgingly came up with the term

Coffee! I miss it so much. Even when I'm not in a flare I don't seem to tolerate it so well anymore :( It's the acidity, caffeine is fine for me. I did cheat and have a frappachino the other day, but I figure that's more dessert than coffee. Now I drink a fake coffee called Teacchino, which has no caffeine but tastes almost the same as coffee and is low acid.

Though, oddly enough, without the coffee I've been waking up earlier each morning and more refreshed than when I drank it.

Coffee is the absolute worst thing in the world for my UC. I can 100% guarantee I will flare if I drink a cup of coffee for 3+ days in a row.

Thus, I never drink any coffee, ever. And I love coffee.
