Some random guy criticised me for drinking double espressos in a pub. Said I should drink a real drink. I offered to drink a pint of what he was drinking for every double espresso he drank and we'd see who died first. He didn't take me up on the offer.

I can stop anytime I want, I just don't want to.

I don't regularly drink coffee, one time I had a big cup made by someone who drinks a lot of coffee, what happened was my face went all tingly and numb and I felt like I was gonna pass out (I was on the highway and there were no bathroom stops so it was extra bad). People who don't think of caffeine as a drug are just incorrect.

Pairs great with mushrooms!

This has reminded me of the Mormon kids at my highschool who'd talk about how "fucked up" and "high" they'd gotten from drinking eight cans of caffeinated soda at once. Adorably edgy, they were.

We all need some way to get lit up, I guess

It must be so nice to be in the category of people who are able to be energized or kept awake by caffeine :(

Regular coffee/espresso does nothing good to my body except make me poop immediately.

BUT my old school had a vending coffee machine that would sometimes break and only put out the coffee sludge with no water and THAT stuff made my hands shake

I think I figured out why coffee does nothing for you 🤔

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

For real, the only thing it does is stopping me from sleeping. I don't feel more awake or less tired at all, just this insanity inducing state of wanting to sleep but not being able to.

I'm only in that category because I don't drink coffee every day.

When I used to drink it daily, it did nothing for me except remove my irritability and prevent a headache.

Now, I take at least two non-coffee days between coffees. I don't depend on coffee on any given day; I can wake up with energy and go about my life without it.

But when I do have coffee, it has a huge effect on me. I get super caffeinated. And it tastes delicious.

It's Saturday morning and I still feel energized from the coffee I had at noon yesterday. I could hardly sleep. It's kind of a problem.

It’s true that people do develop a tolerance to caffeine if they drink it regularly, but even when I didn’t drink it often, I didn’t feel a difference after having a coffee in the morning and or if I drank some late at night in an attempt to stay up later.

Been there. A word to the wise: never decided that the best way to avoid multiple walks to the kitchen is to fill a mug with espressos and then drink it at your desk. Colours start to make sounds, everything moves too slowly, you feel a sense of impending doom, and your heart makes a spirited attempt to leave your body.

Being exhausted all day isn't exactly fun, but a caffeine overdose is so much worse

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah, you're exhausted and feel like you're having a heart attack. It is deeply unfun.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So no change from normal, then?

If you feel like that all the time, you can probably run through walls. I'll keep an eye on the news!
