whoah, so that's a huge difference with european engineers...don't want to generalize, but the majority of the engineers have coffee for breakfast and drink it all day...and a lot of 'em smoke quite a bit as well.
Lots of Canadians drink coffee, but I think it is mostly among the girls and among the older generation. None of my guy friends drink coffee and none but one smoke.
To be honest, I see them walking around with either a bottle of water or sometimes a pop.
