AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the preferred beverages of electrical engineers while designing circuits, contrasting them with the coffee commonly consumed by computer scientists. Participants humorously suggest various drinks, including aged bourbon and smoothies, while some advocate for traditional options like tea, especially in the UK where tea is prevalent. There are playful comments about the effects of caffeinated drinks like Red Bull, with a consensus emerging that tea is a favored choice among electrical engineers. The conversation also touches on personal anecdotes, with some individuals sharing their own drinking habits, indicating a mix of preferences that includes coffee, tea, and even water. The lighthearted tone suggests that while there may be common trends, individual choices vary widely.

The most common drink for computer scientists is coffee. What do electrical engineers designing circuits usually drink? What do you suggest to drink while designing a circuit?

Thanks.

Aged burbon. The circuits will work much more smoothly.
 
Interesting! I thought they drink something more caffeinated like Redbull. Anyway I will try it and see how my circuits work.

No, Red Bull will make your waveforms all spiky.
 
Anything that has C_2H_5OH \; in it..... :smile::biggrin:
 
Ok I'm sticking with sea water. YESSSSSSSSSSSS! :bugeye:
 
smoothies
 
Analog Smoothies!

Classic Coke until age 30.

Then the routine is coffee in the morning, coffee through lunch, espresso x3, and finally coffee until 5pm. After that you start drinking iced tea.

My dad works with a lot of electrical engineers and most of them drink tea, although this is Britain so tea goes with everything.

Let's have a toast with 1,1,1-Trichloroethane to celebrate our clean PCBs. :biggrin:

Although not as toxic as many similar compounds, inhaled or ingested 1,1,1-trichloroethane does act as a central nervous system depressant and can cause effects similar to those of intoxication,...

Although I am not by any stretch of imagination an EE, I have taught EE labs and lectures, and I drink 3 to 4 medium to large mugs of tea every day.

My conclusion:

EE drink is tea
CS drink is coffee

I was friends with a couple of the EE people with whom I worked: one drank water and one drank coffee.

The subject seems more complicated than I thought. Maybe I will do more research. This can be a good PhD thesis.
