I had a friend who railed a little too much caffeine and was basically shaking in the corner for a couple hours.

I found generic store brand instant coffee and it's finely ground coffee put into tea-bags. I bought it in case we ever ran out of coffee so if I ever really needed it I could get some. Now it sits in the cupboard- not as an emergency coffee supply as it was intended for, but so I know when rock bottom hits. I suppose it's capitalism.png that western culture's made caffeine addicts of us all.

Screaming Idiot posted:Nah, instant coffee doesn't perk my gherkin. Coffee bags would let me make up a single cup of actual coffee, which would be nice to have. get an aeropress portable, can make 1-2 cups easy, one of the best overall tasting methods, cleans itself while you make it, very little waste (none if youre one of those weirdos that reuses the filters) thanks frisbee dude

When I was a kid, I was told that the doctor said I was allergic to caffeine.i had a ton of allergies, including poo poo like dairy and every plant. Well in high school I was going through some serious poo poo and decided I'd try to kill myself at school on test day by overdosing on caffeine. IDK how many I took, but I chickened out, and it was honestly still enough caffeine to make me genuinely scared. The hosed up part was apparently my mom lied about the caffeine allergy and basically made the worst day of my life at that point worse, but thankfully the allergy wasn't going to kill me. So I got to just kinda suffer through the worst caffeine shakes ever for like all day. I feel like poo poo for a week.

Caffeine isn't good for kids so making up that lie makes some sense to me. Like making up a scary river monster if you live next to a dangerous river. I started drinking coffee at like 11 because capuccino and that sort of thing makes it easier to learn to like the bitter taste.

Yeah I got that, I'm just like, this attempt stemmed from a lot of physical abuse and manipulation from my mother. So her reveal was unsettling either way it cut.

I used to drink energy drinks as a teenager until I had an SVT attack and now I avoid caffeine, even after having surgery to fix my heart. I'm also sensitive to epinephrine lmao decaf coffee and some teas are the only things I drink (rarely) that have caffeine in it, and I have mostly decaf tea too the amount of caffeine some people I know will drink scares me

I used to work with a guy who would come in with 32oz of coffee in the morning and then switch to Coke after that but he had sleep issues and needed it just to stay awake. Never asked him why he didn’t drink Monster or whatever (not my business)

And he really had bad sleep problems. Was using the mask thing at night, then quit work for a year off to sort out his life. I used to be 'addicted' to coffee. When I was unemployed I spent the day and night playing Quake 3 and Counterstrike. All my dole money went to my parents, so I couldn't buy poo poo. Don't really drink, never smoked, so started to drink instant coffee. A lot. Would get through an average jar of Nescafe or whatever a day or two.

when i was in high school my friend overdosed on caffeine pills at the opera. he got dizzy and sick and tried to make it out to the bathroom but vomitted all over the place in the middle of the audience in the opera. then he fell over and had to wait on the bus to go back to school and home.

This is the lamest drug story I've ever heard. When you're in the field you can't have a coffee break. I used to wash down a sachet of instant coffee with some water, but now I have a better 2pm pick me up. Litre of water, sachet of hydrolyte/Gatorade powder, two aspirin and two caffeine pills. Shake it all up until its dissolved and chug it down. The water and Gatorade rehydrades, the aspirin takes the edge off the aches and pains and the caffeine gives you a bump so you can make it through the rest of your 14 hours of sweating through the heat. Better than red bull and you can use generic everything and avoid giving money to the likes of monster.

The absolute vilest coffee I've ever had, so I learned to do without when in the field for training.

go for it, although it’s probably just indoctrination for the upper middle class parents desperate to have Uber rich offspring the big secret is that billionaires don’t make their money like normal folk, they have their own form of socialism thing going on

I like the implicit admitting that the only way someone might think Capitalism is a good system is to be indoctrinated as a child. In their own words!

Never asked him why he didn’t drink Monster or whatever (not my business) its pretty much what i do and the reason i dont drink monsters for caffeine in the afternoon is because they taste fairly gross so i only get them when i need a lot of caffeine NOW. i like the coffee ones though. i used to drink the green regular kind out of a vending machine all the time in the air force out of neccessity and frankly i think that made me hate them even more

If you need caffeine just to stay awake during the day the reason you can't stay awake during the day is because you're using so much caffeine and your body has adjusted to counter it, or at least that happened to me a while ago. If that's not it you might have a circadian rhythm disorder, and you can prolly get a prescription for modafinil which is way better than just mainlining caffeine 24/7 because it doesn't make you jittery or stimulated or increase your heart rate, it just makes you not-tired, which happened to my wife and the script helped a ton. You can also get the prodrug adrafinil without a prescription from the same kinds of places you get nootropics and other definitely-not-adulterated totally-safe-honest-but-not-fit-for-human consumption things, if you're into that
