does anyone else find it laughable the amount of people in academia with rampant caffeine addictions? the amount of retards i see everyday chugging down their diabetes-bomb energy drinks and $5.00 venti double shots is absurd.

Fuck you. I am willing to kill to get my morning coffee.

I never had coffee until my 4th year of engineering.

I thought it was a big fucking 'hipster' art faggot stupid shit fucking starbucks faggot ass beanie wearing retard shit. But then I had some coffee, it's actually not bad. It keeps me way more alert and stuff during the day. However, I do find that I'm a bit jittery and nervous when I drink it, so I usually take St John's Wort to relax my nerves.

Worked well for me.

it is absurd, optimum caffeine dosage is usually quite low.

Also caffeine is shit-tier compared with provigil and other fun cog-drugs.

I'm in grad school, and I've never felt a need for coffee (although I drink it a couple of times a week, it tastes nice with cream and sugar). What have I done wrong?

>> No.3821872 [DELETED] 

Coffee doesn't seem to effect me.

If I ever drink coffee, it's usually instant coffee with about 4-10 teaspoons of coffee and around 2 teaspoons of sugar with just a bit of milk.

Still doesn't seem to wake me up or make me feel any more energetic.

Anybody got an idea as to why?

That's a little dramatic. So they drink coffee every morning. Could you find something more mundane to get worked up over?

Science would be 5x further along if the use of adderall/regular amphetamines was widely accepted and legal.

i'm about to go to my doctor tomorrow (a new doctor) and ask him for adderall. i'm going to say that i was prescribed it in college but my physician there moved onto a different practice and i can't get a hold of her to write me a new script and that my symptoms are returning. do you think it'll work?

It is even more hilarious when caffeine addicts don't realize that their energy has stopped coming from caffeine and their regular caffeinated beverages merely act as maintenance, not an energy increase.

Do you get up at 5:30 in the morning, work untill 4:30, and then have to go home and do more work untill around 9:00-10:00 most of the time?

And people rip on teacher's coffee addictions.

Also lol at thinking testing the effects of chemical stimulant on an insect that DOES EVERYTHING BASED ON FUCKING PHEROMONES can somehow correlate to the function of a complex vertebre's brain. Awaiting the inevitable "HURR IF I GEV EM CYANIDE THEY DYE UR STOPID TEST CHEMICULS ON INSEKS SO SAEF FUR HOOMANS" comment.

Coffee doesn't affect me. I still get sleepy when I drink coffee. It doesn't improve my concentration, alertness, or make me work any faster. However, I do experience a high of sorts. Several weeks ago, I stopped using coffee permanently, and I've never felt better.

>> No.3822341

>implying it's just academia.

It's fucking everywhere. No thanks, I'll stick to my extremely less healthy but much better adderall.
