      This is why I hate this stuff. I hate people joking about how much coffee they’re drinking because they have so much work to do and don’t get to sleep. Meanwhile, every coffee joke sounds like this to me.

      More than 400mg of caffeine a day can cause a host of health issues. Of course, because it’s legalized and widely available, people discredit the risks.

      Just like acetaminophen, which is responsible for 56,000 emergency department visits, 2,600 hospitalizations, and 500 deaths per year, according to the NIH.

    Caffeine has got to be among the shittiest drugs to get addicted to. There’s no euphoria; you just get anxiety and can’t sit still. And then in a couple of hours you get tired and want to go to sleep.

    I just don’t understand how people get addicted to the stuff. Even when I needed to drink it for my job, the moment I quit that place was the same moment I quit drinking coffee. It’s simply not a fun drug at all. There are much better stimulants out there.

      Allow me to introduce you to NICOTINE.

      No euphoria, also gives you anxiety, makes you stink, discolors your teeth, hair and nails, and slowly kills you.

        At least with nicotine you get a bit of a buzz. Especially if you haven’t smoked/vaped in years. A nicotine buzz can feel like a small hit of weed when you have no/low tolerance.

      I mean are most caffeine enjoyers addicicted? I don’t think so.

      I drink ~ 1 Liter of coffee a day but it’s because I work a 10 hours shift, 4 hour round trip commute, and get 5 - 6 hours of sleep. I never really crave or need caffeine but it does help keep me from falling asleep at the wheel and dying

        Coffee isn’t very acidic. It’s around pH 5. Enamal is damaged by anything less than 5.5, so coffee is bad, but not very.

          Im in the alps, so I have the privilege of having access to virtually free and safe to drink, but also tasty. It’s the cheapest, easiest way to do something good for my health, so i do it. 2-3 litres is usually the recommendation i see and hear everywhere.

          Tbh I sometimes drink close to 4 litres, i have to watch my electrolytes more than anything.

          That sounds about right for me… I have 250ml when I wake up, I’ll have 250-300ml of coffee, then I drink a 1L carafe of water while working. In the evening I’ll have a couple glasses of water and/or a large cup of herbal tea. Sometimes I’ll drink 2 carafes of water.

          Tea doesn’t have that much usable caffein if you let it steep longer than maybe 3 minutes. Also, we don’t know how diluted the tea is.

    As much as I like at some time before 14:00 'o clock and then none.

    Caffeine has about 8hrs half-life and blocks a few key receptors in the brain, so it will only mask the tiredness you build up over the day.

      You’re missing out. A coffee at 1900 or 2000 with just enough whiskey for taste is my jam on a Friday night.

        If I would drink any coffee in that time, (even worse with/or booze) I would be still up the next day by a large margin. :(

          Fair enough - everyone has a different reaction. I probably also should have mentioned the hash and beer that usually follow this, always end up ready for bed by 0200ish myself.

          Hooray for legal poly drug abuse! (?)

    Doesn’t having 2 or 3 cups a day, actually a good thing?

      If you filter coffee through a paper filter then there are negligible health benefits to drinking coffee which are probably more than offset by the caffeine.

      If you don’t filter it through a paper filter then the cafestol probably negates the benefits before you have to weigh them against the negatives of the caffeine.

        Could you be more specific about the negligible health benefits of coffee and the downsides of caffeine? As a regular coffee drinker, I’ve done some searching to try and gauge the long-term risks of consuming ~100-200mg of caffeine per day, and couldn’t really find anything. The medical sources I’ve seen basically say the long term risk is practically non-existent unless you have a specific sensitivity to caffeine, but I’m curious if you’ve seen something different.

          It’s linked to increased blood pressure, increased risk of heart disease, kidney problems, etc, but as you mention there’s not anything rock solid and there’s also relatively recent studies that show positive effects.

          For people that intake less than 400mg a day.

          That’s the tricky bit. Do you know how many mgs of caffeine you take in on a daily basis?

            Right, yeah that’s sort of the conclusion I’ve reached - sort of a “correlation may not imply causation” type situation.

            I drink one 300g cup of coffee a day, except on very rare instances where I’ll have like two or three cups in a day. My average daily caffeine intake is probably around ~100mg, which is well under any demonstrably dangerous limits that I’ve seen.

          I’m not a doctor nor am I an expert, so hopefully not being taken as an authoritative source here, but my understanding is similar to yours regarding caffeine.

          I only play a doctor on TV, but in my professional opinion it grows hair on your teeth.

      Yes, but 4-6 cups seems to be a better thing.
