I love a nice cup of hot coffee but man I think this stuff has to go.
No way
anon im pretty sure you are buying cheap coffee, the quality is literally shit. buy some real good ones and you will experience no downsides
I don't see how different quality coffee would make any difference. Caffeine is caffeine after all.
That being said I can't relate at all. I drink one small coffee a week to avoid becoming adapted to it. I feel great for a day and don't really feel any downsides.
>Caffeine is caffeine after all.
Alcohol is alcohol, but cheap liquor gives worse hangover. Dunno.
Still, it is probably easier to just quit coffee completely.
>cheap liquor gives worse hangover
this is a myth
coffee is coffee, alcohol is alcohol
> hurrr cheap wine is literally just ethanol
Ask me how I know you did grade 9 Chemistry and then quit cause you "knew it all anyway"
Liquor has "heads" and "tails" of the batch that contain more impurities to the point that some of it is literally just thrown away. They bottle the more impure stuff as cheaper booze and it does indeed give a worse hangover and drinking experience. I had a bottle of Popov vodka in college that actually froze into a slushy in the freezer even though it was 80 proof. Stopped buying cheap shit after that
How does Absolut rank among vodkas? It's all I've drank in like 10 years, though I don't drink a lot.
I dunno man it doesn't come in a plastic bottle you are probably alright
an individual person was right. IST is not a single being. good luck
This is all you need to be successful on a cut and happy
You’re a Black person satan
Thanks for the (You), bud

Marlboro black and white monster and this would be literally me
Damn it I love cigarettes so much. But I have to sing professionally and make lots of money doing so, so I can't smoke because it fricks with my vocal cords
But if they didn't, I would absolutely chain smoke all day.
They're defacto illegal here (australia) now at $50 a pack and probably going up again soon.
Sure it's technically possible to smoke but even I, on a high income, can't afford a habbit like that. I fricking hate that people are such weak willed, DISGUSTING cuckolds that they allow the government to prohibit this freedom in the name of some bullshit like "health".
Don't want to smoke? don't. But why force everyone else to stop too? Disgusting.
>australia
I can't believe what you guys have let your country become.
There's a good pasta some bloke on /misc/ made about it once. But the tl;dr is that Australia used to be much like the USA. ALL blokes were armed militia men (who were also active military).
One day during the red scare there was a suspected communist uprising and the militias sprung into action to potentially curb it. 10s of thousands of armed aussies ready to fight for their country.
This TERRIFED the government because, they didn't find out about this until DAYS after the event. They were like "holy shit, this country has an entire military that we don't control at all we need to stop it".
From that day countless laws and efforts have been made to break up and prohibit all militia formation (there is no 2a in australia). Ban firearms almost entirely and effectively prohibit serving military persons from having any social interaction with civilians (essentially creating a different universe in which military live, completely separate from civilian life).
Without militia and 2a the ruling, billionaire elite of Australia fear nothing because Australians are completely disarmed, weak and completely ignorant of what I just said. The modern Australian has no culture, or mates. He has no money or guns or reason to live at all.
Now you're not wrong anon, Aussies let this happen. But make no mistake, it was deliberate. The condition of modern, cucked Australia was engineered as a response to previously over-armed and freedom loving citizenry.
>fun fact: airsoft is one of the many things explicitly banned because it might be used for secretly training a militia
And now you are a cucked security state where you get put in time out for naughty internet posts, with some huntsman spiders and funny looking birds.
I wouldn't even visit Australia if someone paid me to take a vacation there.
Just do coke like the rest of your countrymen
don't take any stimulants
they ruined my life
i finally managed to fix my life after abusing cocaine amphetamines and caffeine 247
used to be a pretty popular no cam streamer, did 70+ hour streams
it was a cool time but i got off all this shit
once you stop stimulants you'll also stop deazh grip masturbation and everything will become good
get off this shit ASAP bro you'll feel really good
Aight man there’s a huge difference in effects between coke and coffee
I would say the first pot of coffee after zero caffeine for a month or so it's a better high than most of the stepped on coke nowadays
Real. I inadvertently quit coffee over the summer, but when I went back to college I had just one cup one morning and was so chatty and enthusiastic it legit felt like I was on coke
Yeah once you have a tolerance you don't really notice (you just feel bad without it like a typical addict) but if you cold turkey for a while and go back it's euphoric as frick and pretty intense
Yeah, I didn't have any for years and then had a Monster at work because I was just dead tired, and my coworker legitimately thought I was on some hard shit
same shit bro hit a gram of caffeine in your nose and you'll see all stimulants make you a horny limpdicked fgt who likes sissy porn
homosexuality stems from women drinking caffeine when pregnant I'm 100% sure
Just don't take caffeine in the afternoon. It stays in your system longer than you think. It's a very addictive drug and I usually experience headaches when going cold turkey. My moronic boomer mom is a NPC zombie always b***hing about being tired and she drinks coffee every day after work/before bed. She refuses to change (like most people).
Aside from the summer energy drinks, I have all my coffee in the morning (I wake up early). The pot is usually done by 10 AM.
My consumption grew gradually over the years. You have one cup, it's pretty good. A few weeks of that and you think "I bet I can have another cup" and so forth.
Yeah, despite the amount of coffee I used to drink I would have never considered an addict as I've gone a day or two cold turkey in the past with no ill effects and cut my consumption by 95% for a weeks straight with zero withdrawal. I'm sort of surprised at how much my tolerance went down though.
Why do coffee addicts require so much coffee. Like just have a single cup. Get a french press and a hand grinder and have a nice cup of good quality black coffee in the morning, and stop there
is this a chatgpt comment? ive seen it so often. like are you stupid or what? that is exactly why they are coffee addicts. its fricking self-explanatory? i dont know how else to say it. addicts are addicts because they require the substance they are taking, and they require it increasingly more as the tolerance builds up.
that one cup doesnt do anything for them anymore. thats why they drink more.
Define require
It started with the invention of electricity/the light bulb and then factories could run 24/7. The wagies didn't like night shift or working long hours so the boss man came up with the idea of the coffee break and it's just gotten worse and worse from there.
Go to the average workplace and you will notice that everyone hates their life and just abuses substances all day. Either they constantly snack at work or they constantly drink coffee or they take a smoke break every 30 mins. Tolerances build up rapidly and more and more cope consumed to get through the day until they die and their meaningless lives end.
What's wrong with his feet?
Diabetic, body not healing properly (too much sugar/bacteria/poor circulation) and too fat to clean himself. Basically the average American.
you can buy decaf? i dont drink coffee so i dont but i dont also know why it would taste worse? other than less good brands/alternatives. Decaf coke zero tastes pretty much identical vs regular zero. If you asked if there is a difference I would say yes but it might be self-suggestion. Blindtested 100 times, I'd probably say they would end up being interchangeable.
i wish they would make decaf energy drinks. its kind of paradoxical but i dont buy them for energy or performance lol. i doubt anyone does tbh. like u dont suddenly lift 10-20% more or do 2-3 more reps because you took monster ultra zero. i drink it because i genuinely like the taste. i prefer drinking it over anything else in this world, unironically.
It’s almost as if the human body produces what it needs for wakefulness naturally via a proper diet and sleep, and coffee is just a crutch for poor diet/sleep that eventually will catch up to you.
Take the caffeine pill-pill.
Lmao, 200mg is definitely not equal to 1 cup of coffee. That's like over 2 cups.
2 pussy cups maybe.
If you dont invert the coffee container above your mug, don't even approach me
>I love a nice cup of hot coffee
No you love a nice POT of hot coffee. Learn moderation and you can enjoy one singular cup of coffee
I quit coffee and caffine for two months. There were no withdrawals or anything but for the two months I slowly became more and more depressed. I lost all joy in life, completely lost my sex drive, my work and personal life suffered immensely. Spent most of that time with strong suicidal ideation. Gave in and had a cup of coffee and realized it was the first time I was happy in months. Currently 400mg deep rn and life feels normal. If this is addiction why would I not get any withdrawals and why wouldn’t it improve over 2 whole months.
>There were no withdrawals
>I was depressed for 2 months
>I lost my sex drive
Anon...
>go overboard on caffeine
>all anxious and iritiable can’t focus restless
>forget to eat because no appetite, makes it all worse
>either realize food is what I need and eat, or hit the crash and binge eat grange to cope with shit feel
>repeat daily
Just did it again. Have no food. Trying to contemplate what to eat.
Kek at all the addicts saying shit like "your coffee is shit" "just don't drink in the afternoon". Kek
>have caffeine in moderation
>50mg pills so I know exactly how much I'm getting
>never go over 100mg, 150mg once in a blue moon
>never take it past 12pm(or 10 hours before bed)
>don't take it everyday
Congratulations, you get a moderate and sustainable boost that isn't going to cause withdrawal or frick your sleep.
You morons chug coffee all day with no idea how much caffeine content is in it and end up casually consuming half a gram of caffeine by lunch and then wonder why it all spirals out of control so quickly.
Is there a feel you're supposed to get to know when the caffeine kicks in? I tried a cup for the first time and it only made my mouth dry.
Depends on your level of tolerance. If you feel like you’re floating, you’ve had too much
Au contrare, I drink to get to that point
of course. addicts will do anything to justify their addiction. drugs are drugs.
>drinks excessive amounts of caffiene
>drops to near 0 amount
>feels better
>goes back to excessive amount
>hurr durr, this stuff is no good guys
holy frick some of your guys are stupid.
I just started drinking coffee last week. Haven't had any of the issues you are describing. Only drink like 2 cups a day though. It is objectively healthier than the Dr. Pepper's I used to drink.
homie a whole pot of coffee? That's like 5 cups of coffee. Even half a pot is a lot.
I never understand how people:
1 - reach the point where they drink more than a cup of coffee a day
2 - don't correalate their shit life to the absurd amount of caffeine they are taking
>1 - reach the point where they drink more than a cup of coffee a day
Having a cup of coffee is something to do. So if people are bored or whatever they'll have a cup and it adds up over the day
>2 - don't correalate their shit life to the absurd amount of caffeine they are taking
They don't have any reason to assume an everyday drug could be so dangerous because surely schools or the government would warn people of such effects if they were true, right?
>drinks nearly a pot of coffee a day for over a decade
>does not develop tolerance to caffeine.
no bobo coffee zone for you
