We have chocolate milk, too.  Yes, it's delicious.  :)

I come from what you would probably consider a cold climate, based on
your latitude and marine influence; the day I left it to drive to Los
Angeles to live, it was -25F/-32C degrees.  Even there, I was never hot
(heh) on hot drinks.  And when it's 105F/41C degrees here in L.A., you
won't hear me say, "Hey, I could sure use a steaming hot cup of coffee
right now!"  :)

Caffeine addiction?  Heh.  I gave up smoking after 20 years and a 2.5
pack a day habit; I quit drinking.  Both cold turkey.  Caffeine
addiction?  Heh.  :)

Another incentive I have (not that I need it, disliking both coffee and
tea <g> ) is that I've had about three dozen kidney stones, and one or
two docs have said that caffeine, in some people, can set up some kind
of body chemistry that's conducive to the formation of stones.  And they
hurt like hell, not even counting surgery.
