>>75727654Don't even start this hard drug
>>75727654Just take 500 mg of caffeine pills every 24 hours. It’s safe and effective. Coffee stains your teeth and gives you shit breath.
>>75727654Honestly if there is a gateway drug, it's thisThis is the first drug everyone uses that makes it ok to alter your mind
>>75727667You can get all the benefits with as little as 2.5 mgstop nuking yourself!
>>75727680Not if you weigh more than 200 lbs of muscle

>>75727667>Coffee stains your teeth and gives you shit breath.If only someone would invent some sort of implement to clean your teeth and mouth. Oh well, I guess we're stuck.
>>75727667500mg is a good upper limit before you're just wasting it
>>75727654moderation.5 days a week tea2 days a week coffee

>>75727667you don’t get the health benefits without the bean water, i drink decaf with a little extra caf added
I cut back to 1 cup of black tea in the morning and my (((anxiety))) disappeared Working on consistently waking up a bit earlier so I can cut that too, right now it takes me about an hour to start doing thinky work which is a bit long when meetings start at 9am and I wake up at 8:50
>>75727818I cut down to 0 caffeine and I stopped being an alcoholic, so that's really something The want to drink that I would often have completely disappeared, which means that all that time I was using alcohol (and when I could get it, marijuana) to come down from my caffeine use. Destroyed my life by the way. Caffeine through alcohol destroyed my life completely. It's why I'm so hard on caffeine and consider it a hard drug. Maybe not everyone will react like this, but it's interesting that you mention anxiety. That's what I felt all the time for the last few decades, constant anxiety. I still get anxious, but not enough to want to drink alcohol. Since quitting coffee more than 4 months ago, maybe more than 5 at this point, I've drank two times, and both times I was not eager to they were tactical drunk and a third time I drank a light beer before going to the doctor after a surgery because what they were doing in that follow-up was going to be extremely painful for me.
>>75727654>To quit or not quit?Moderation is a thing.
>>75727835i think you have the causality backwards, most people use coffee to counter bad sleep and cardiovasculature caused by alcoholism
>>75727885How can you tell me what I have backwards? Lol? Are you ok anon? This is exactly what happened to me, re read it all again.
It's horrible for me, but I doubt I'm going to quit, it's too pleasurable. My caffeine sobriety PR is 2 months, achieved last year.
>>75727680based caffeine microdoser
>>75727654I have high blood pressure so I've had to quit caffeine unfortunately.
Went for over 2 decades of my life abstaining from coffee because I didn't like the taste. Once I entered the wageslavery and had to wake up early, I pretty quickly went "fuck it this is unbearable without the magic drug" and since then been a coffee drinker, even advanced to "specialty" coffee snob who drinks it black. Never thought that would happen.I was a regular black tea drinker (and cola when I was younger) and I honestly don't think I've ever felt their so-called caffeine actually do anything. Coffee is a fucking world of difference when it comes to waking you up and even after daily consumption of multiple cups a day I haven't numbed to its effect. Recently tried being careful about consooming too much though so I might drop the after-work coffee.
>>75727680No, you can't.
>>75727885It's a circular pattern. You drink coffee because you didn't sleep well and then you don't sleep well because you had coffee. And then because you didn't sleep well because of the coffee you drink coffee. Because around and around and around.
