Me: Didn't you know? Programmers run on coffee and pizza.
Him: I allways thought it was cigarettes and (something I don't remember...)
Me:... '-.-

    Cigarettes? Maybe In the old COBOL days. Don't think the cigs would fly in today's office.

    Programmers have a higher number of smokers and a lower number of alcoholics when compared to other professions.

    I think it depends where you are. I'm in the northeast of the US, and I'm the only one who smokes at my work (about 50 devs).

    4-5 cups of coffee a day is pretty normal for me. (and call me prude, but I've never been interested in smoking anything)
