Apparently according to my singing teacher and my singing techers doctor;
It isn't good to have coffee on a day you're meant to sing on because Caffeine dries the vocal chords.
Alternatively, for every cup of coffee you have on the same day, you have to have 8 cups of water.
(I'm pretty sure my teacher said...it could 2...but i think 8...)

Yeah...and thats all....im not sure if this was mentioned somewhere else either....i did look....for a bit...

Anyone who sings and is also addicted to coffee is told this about a billion times (thanks Mr. Christiansen, you nosy bastard) and it comes down to making a choice. Is there a difference in Gerard's voice before and after he drinks coffee? Is it noticable enough that he should stop drinking it? And if so is he even going to care? These same questions come up if you're a singer and drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, those are even worse for your vocal chords than coffee. Me, I gave up the coffee and I don't hear a difference.

Yeah, I drink coffee like a maniac, and I'm very addicted to it now. It definitely dries up your throat. (And gives you terrible breath, but hey. It's an addiction.)

Oh, and according to my science teacher, coffee may very well be a drug. Just not an insanely bad one. That's what makes it addicting.

Most of my friends are enablers in my world of caffeine addiction.
I didn't really help things by taking a job in a coffee shop, where I can have all the free caffeine I want.
It makes up for my sleep deprivation.
Plus, it gives me that extra sparkle and pep I need to be enthusiastic about anything in the morning.

I need my coffee and cigarette on a school morning otherwise I'm such a bitch.

And I can't hear a difference in people's voices when they drink or don't drink coffee anyway... maybe it's just me.
I can hear the difference when people stop smoking, though.

My singing teacher really wants me quit coffe, but I wont. I've done everything else he told me to do, but I can't live without that damn coffe! So now he always has two bottles of water for me when I come to practise, wich I have to drink before singing.
At some point, coffe isn't very good for your voice. But like most of you, I can't tell the difference!
