Man, I stopped drinking coffee three days ago. I realized yesterday that I hadn't had a coffee in two days and took that opportunity to quit cold turkey. My head feels clear but at the same time not. It's a weird feeling. Coffee is a drug for sure.

    I don't really consider 1 cup a day to be a problem.


    My girl is a Coffee Taster for employment so she roasts all her own green. That's the bomb ass shit.


    Only way to respectably drink coffee is by using a French Press. Fuck a Mister Coffee.

    You fool, first off that's a red foxx line, second it refers to someone who has NO addictions, consequently dying from NOTHING.

    Shit man, at least know what the fuck you're talking about before you try stepping to me.

    As a lifelong Coca-Cola man, I can't imagine this. Even a 20 oz coke a day is too much for me now. With Pepsi being the only soda at the cafeterias a few years back, I rotted my teeth like you wouldn't believe.

    I almost always brush my teeth soon after drinking a soda.

    I love coffee. Every day it was "Coffee for Hoffy", but then, out of nowhere about three years ago it started giving me migraines, immedietely after drinking. I can no longer drink caffinated tea, either. Soda is fine, much less caffine in it, but I haven't had a cup of coffee or tea in 3 years, after drinking a cup a day for about 4 years.

    Now my morning hot drink is cocoa, and i go to sleep much earlier. It's nice to know that when I do feel awake, it is for completely natural reasons.

    It's probably for the best, it is addictive and I don't think coffee wakes you up as much as it keeps you from falling asleep. But I often reminisce about my favorite coffee - the Viennese blend they serve at "Two Little Red Hens", a breakfast pastry spot on 2nd ave between 85th and 86th .

    what's that?
  • sonofsamsonofsam 680 Posts
    yeah, shit had me bad, and i really don't know when it even happened... i just realized a little while back that i was drinking that much... i was never like "I NEED PEPESI", but i just always had one with me all day, and it adds up fast... i'm actually already a lot better this week than last week, hopefully i'm getting over the hump


    when i told my wife i was going to quit, she said "good, i was about to have an intervention"... apparently, pepsi was like 20% of our grocery bill

    Caffeine is so much a part of coffee when I drink it that when I have decaf it tastes the same but doesn't feel the same. I dump so much sugar and cream in my coffee it's insane.

    Drinking decaf is like drinking alcohol free scotch...

    Apparently, one of the effects of coffee is amnesia: we have a coffee thread like 1 week ago
