Who here drinks coffee? If so, how many cups per day on average? I find it to be very helpful in the morning but when taken later in the day the affect mutates me into a fatigued,anxious person.

I'm thoroughly addicted to coffee
in fact, last night and this morning I was without power, so I ground up coffee beans using the bottom of a metal teaspoon, put it in a pot, and simmered it over a fire for 30 minutes.
Then I got power back.
1-2 on average

I start the day with 250 mL of coffee
~4 hours later, I drink 500 mL
~3 hours later, 250 mL

So I drink a liter a day, sometimes more depending on workload. I always measure my coffee as accurately as possible with some spare glassware I have.

If i dont drink coffee i cant focus during class, or when i need to concentrate on a specific on something like studying. Although i know thats bullshit, but ive become so massively addicted that its hard to quit.

So about 40oz a day

I don't understand the hostility, caffeine is a drug that fucks with your nervous system just like many other illegal drugs, but for some reason it is legal. Look at all of the people who depend on coffee every day - on soda, too. Energy drinks. People today couldn't live without all of this shit, and they think it's because 'it tastes better', but it's because their body wants the caffeine

>> No.5233432

It doesn't, that's the point. The only long term effects except for the addiction are positive.

>> No.5233448

>>5233432

I haven't claimed that there is any long term effect besides the addiction, all I was saying was that the addiction was there. You're defending caffeine when there is not even a threat to it, like it's your child or something. Just one of the many signs of being addicted to something.

I go with Huperzine A to recover from occasional usage of chemicals that trigger serotonin receptors, and it works fairly well as a way to get over the fuzzy, somewhat disoriented sensation experienced after the comedown. I assume if I took it every day, I might experience more effect.

Well, we know that caffeine crosses the blood-brain barrier yet and that caffeine stimulates the CNS. However, we don't have a good understanding of the entire brain. Not dying from something doesn't necessarily make it healthy. There could be several things you're doing right now which may slowly be killing you and maybe will only be discovered when you're dead and your body is examined.

Agreed, OP. I have some in the morning. I only recently stopped having it later. I get anxious & very easily irritated. I had swollen lymph nodes from having the flu. With too much caffeine I was way way too stressed out about it. I couldn't concentrate, I was grinding my teeth too etc etc. So, I stopped my high caffeine intake and was almost instantly cured of anxiety & the teeth grinding.

I sit in front of a computer for a living, so at least once every 20-30 minutes, I like to get up and grab a coffee just as an excuse to rest my eyes and walk around... I guess I probably drink a good 15-20 mugs per day.
Sounds like a lot compared to most people, but caffeine has never had any effect on me. I just like the taste of coffee and prefer drinking it to water.

I have heard people who drink a lot of coffee get headaches if they don't drink any but surprisingly I never drink coffee on the weekends and have never experienced any form of withdrawal symptoms.

>> No.5240179

Everyone here who drinks coffee and/or tea should stop drinking it for a couple of days and see if you have any withdrawal effects. I stoped drinking coffee for 2 days and man, that was the most hellish couple of days ever. I felt like I had the flu, I was feeling sick as fuck, my brain was fogged, no energy, etc. I consider myself pretty healthy but I had no fucking clue what this shit was doing to my body. It's fucking poison. Try it out for yourselves and report back if you can. I'd very much appreciate it.
