As someone experiencing the long term affects of caffeine, please stop. You can get by for a couple of years but at a certain point it's really not worth it
Heart palpatations, low energy, difficulty sleeping, extreme dependency in general, and an expensive habit. That's just the ones I know. Pretty sure my blood pressure is higher than it should be.
I mean yeah kinda but the point is they become truly chronic after a certain amount of time. Probably taken years off my life with all the stress on my heart even though I'm still in my twenties. And don't get me started on the debilitating sleep issues
There is zero scientific evidence that a healthy human being without pre-existing heart issues is going to have any adverse effect from coffee outside of jitters. Even people with heart disease drink coffee and are fine its specific to people who use stuff like cocaine or amphetamines and can get insanely high blood pressures or heart rates.
Anon is a fucking loser, should have asked that girl out to get coffee.
I stopped drinking Coffee everyday because after a certain point, you get tolerance and it stops affecting you as much. Then when you stop, you get withdrawal.
Fuck that. Coffee is now only for emergency for me.
Dude I thought the coffee phase was bad. So many of my coworkers need fucking energy drinks to function and I can't pin point if it's a feedback loop of dependancy or if the work load is too much for the average person is causing the poor people to self poison.
Dude, I work the night shift at a burger place in the grill all week, my one and only weekly day off I usually spend it doing all the stuff I wanted to during the week but couldn't because Im a fucking zombie who needs to sleep until 2 pm to function so naturally when I go back to the grind I take a monster, not everyday (to avoid tolerance) and a white one at that (cause I like gaslighting myself into believing its somewhat healthier and sits lighter in my stomach) but dude, I tell you, if it wasn't for that I'd be a barely thinking sluggish and clumsy zombie lol
That’s why you just stick to moderated use. Using caffeine 2x/week will not build tolerance. Every dose will feel the same. I have stuck to this for years, tho now that I’m in a boring office full time I often fall asleep sitting up without stimulants.
I just get very jittery and sorta anxious when I have too much. I've never experience any kind of "buzz". I drink coffee just for the taste most of the time, and I don't fuck with energy drinks, stopped consuming those after getting out of the military.
Maybe nothing but when this was happening to me a lot, turns out i was anemic. Mention this trend to your doctor on next visit. They can run some blood tests to make sure youre not deficient in a vitamin or mineral.
I eat so much food and am otherwise in great health. Turns out being in a windowless gray room for 8 hours straight looking at a software built in 1986 is bad for the brain. This never happened before now. But I will mention it to the dr just in case because it’s concerning nonetheless.
I work with a ton of coffee snobs but if I have to pick up the early morning shift for like ER or presurg patients I maybe drink half a small cup around 5am while they drink multiple pots per day and I usually have more energy at the end of the shift.
We share a similar mentality. I avoid coffee with all my might. It is merely useful as a mean to focus and be proficiently active during intellectually challenging occasions.
This is true for basically every stimulant besides the hardest shit. Even Adderall can be used that way. Except nicotine. You WILL get addicted to nicotine.
It's never had an effect on me. Never had this compulsive need for coffee unless I am running on <4 hours of sleep, in which it can help somewhat before I crash by the time I get home.
Tbh it could be related to my diagnosed adhd, however I'm not sure.
It’s a fairly common occurrence for neurodivergent people to have either a tolerance or near immunity to most of a stimulants effects. The other health impacts still happen tho so do be responsible with your consumption
Man maybe I should get checked out then, because I can drink one of those big cans of Monster and be passed out in 30 minutes. I swear that shit *helps* me sleep.
I really do enjoy a good coffee but yeah...I hated feeling obligated to drink it every day, so i tried just drinking it once a week...still got a headache the next day, there is definitely something unnatural about it if it gives immediate withdrawal.
Matcha on the other hand is great, my body breaks it down with no headache
how bout STFU

I once accidently drank coffee instead of my orange juice because i confused the cups when i was like 4 years old. Absolutely disgusting.
I recently drank my first coffee, i dont get why people like it so much, it was okay, smell was good but I function perfectly well without it
I started drinking coffee at like age 12. For the past ten years I have been diagnosed with IBS. Then one day my husband brought home a really good tea. I was just drinking the tea for a few days and realized I was not having any IBS symptoms. It was the coffee the whole entire time
The only one I agree with is the "don't talk to me until I've had my coffee". It was funny the first few hundred times but now everyone has heard it, it's just plain annoying, get something creative to advertise your antisocial personality and caffeine addiction.
Anon can shut the fuck up and let other people enjoy their jittery bitterness like the low key addiction that it most assuredly is.
Not even joking. I know what coffee is, and the only problem I have with it is that it's not in my hand right now.
What? ... no? Why would it be any different from liking, idk fried chicken or something?
I like the taste but don't want the dependency, so drink decaf often
I used to go through a bottle of ghost pepper guava hot sauce every two weeks. It got to the point I started finding myself in severe pain after I had any because I apparently developed gall stones. I was quite angry and irritable that I couldn't have any more of it, so I got the fucking organ removed. Now I am retraining my spice tolerance. I am mildly upset I lost it.
Personally I dont like the taste, but I know a lot of people do. I drink it anyways because waking up in the morning is an impossible task for me. I have a job that starts ar noon now and u love it
DO NOT CONSUME ANY COFFEE AND/OR CAFFEINE. Cutting those out was one of the best things I ever did. It depletes so much serotonin plus ramps up anxiety. I used to drink coffee all the time because "well I can't function otherwise, I have no motivation." But then I realized that I have no motivation or energy anyway even WITH drinking tons of coffee lol.
After completely cutting out all coffee/caffeine, I'm massively better emotionally balanced. I had no clue how badly it sucks out your serotonin. The intense negative thoughts are horrid. Plus the irritability is nuts.
Just do Xanax for sleep and you'll have more energy naturally
Don't snort it though its not water soluble and I think it's engineered like oxycontin, when you crush it up it becomes useless
The major difference between drugs like caffeine and drugs like meth is the withdrawal only takes about 2 days of mild to strong discomfort and won't make you puke your guts out and possibly die.
Also people don't stay awake for days eating nothing and watching porn like meth addicts, so...
Don't talk to me until I've had my depakote and adderall. And definitely don't talk to me after I've added marijuana and coffee to the mix. In fact, just never talk to me.
I don't want a drink. I want... reckoning.
You think a latte is just a beverage. I see it as a delivery system for devastation. I’ll spend all morning in Starbucks. I don’t buy anything. I just...wait.
I have a thermal label printer. And a roll of official Starbucks stickers. I wait for couples, the happy ones. The ones who think they have a “future.” When the barista looks away, I slap a second sticker on the bottom of the girl’s cup.
You probably wonder what the sticker says. But it doesn't matter who we are... what matters is our plan. And my plan is simple. The sticker says, “I know about the other person. We need to talk tonight.”
They are going to spend the rest of their day, maybe even, their entire week. Thinking their partner is cheating on them.
Make no mistake, I’m not interested in “fun”. I’m interested in the coin toss of fate. By the time they finish that macchiato and see the message...the poison is already in the well. They’ll look at their partner and see a stranger. What’s the most you ever lost on a coffee run?
Their “love”, their “trust”…it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. I’m just showing them how thin the ice really is. I’m an agent of...clarity. ☕️
Drinking just coffee seems maddening to me.
I alternate between water, coffee, tea, juice, protein water, vitamin effervescent tablets and water.
Nothing wakes me up other than time from waking up, and doing something.
As someone who loves coffee i
