If it’s coffee/tea, how do you take it? I typically end up consuming 200-400 Mg a day depending on if I go to the gym or work overnight. I either do black coffee (iced ideally) or sugar free redbull/monster. I’m considering switching to caffeine pills but I know it wont scratch that habitual itch of drinking it down.
I drink three cups of coffee a day, first thing in the morning. If there is caffeine in something else I consume I am ignorant of it.
Ideal amount, 3-5/day
That is what i understand as well.
Fair enough
I like to boof a pot of coffee in the morning.
The silent majority has been real silent in this thread — but thank you for speaking up for proper technique.
I somewhat recently found out my SO thought boofing was just chugging. The revelation and explanation changed the meaning of a decade of jokes in an instant.
It’s not just chugging, it’s butt-chugging
TIL
Hell yeah
Zero.
There are too few of us.
Hahaha
Also zero, for like 20 years now.
Maybe the occasional sip of coffee if I have a headache
Found the mormans.
I don’t know man, I can’t really think of many drugs I haven’t done in some form or another. I just don’t use stimulants anymore, as I’ve already enough problems being overstimulated.
I drink to make other people more interesting.

Edit Also how do you know we aren’t morwomans instead of mormans?
Completely random amounts of black coffee and espresso, ranging from an entire pot or 4+ shots of espresso a day to months without bothering.
Between this and your name, you are my kind of people loll
Eyeballs and I don’t have time for your FUCKING NUMBERS STOP BREATHING AT ME
two cups a day, stopping before 3pm. usually shit my pants at around 10
Half-caf, three cups per day (about 150mg total).
That adds up to a caf and a half.
1.5 caf
Interesting move
do you make it?
I can’t find any good roasters that make half caf blends. usually at best they have one mediocre decaf. occasionally there is a really good decaf and i will just blend it myself 50/50 with another coffee.
only one roaster around me makes half caf and it’s not regularly available.
When I brew coffee, I use half regular grounds and half decaf. There are some roasters that make half caf, but it’s easy to mix it yourself.
I’m in Ontario, I’ve been drinking Kicking Horse lately and it’s decent.
I don’t, so zero
None anymore. It took me a while to realize the the most energetic and level headed people that I know in my life don’t even consume caffeine.
Caffeine addition keeps you permanently tired and getting the next hit just brings you back up closer to to the energy levels of people who don’t consume it.
It is hard as hell to quit because it is so addictive, but the other side is so much better…
This is not true for everyone
de nile is not just a river in egypt
And science is science
And caffeine is drugs
Loose leaf tea, re-steeped several times over the course of the day. The caffeine content goes down with each successive stepping, but good quality whole leaves will still let you get several cups out of them.
I stop making it at 3, which usually gives me enough time to metabolize it and sleep normally.
When you say good quality whole leaves, where exactly does a person get that?
I snort it directly off of my The Real Book
The most proper use for a Real Book.
Sick
I detest coffee. My caffeine intake is wholly sodas, specifically Coke Zero. It only has 34mg per 12oz, so I don’t get a lot of caffeine every day.
minimum of 1 cup of coffee and 1 cup of tea per day. sometimes more.
i can’t drink caffeine after 3pm or coffee after noon.
Don’t bother with the caffeine pills. My brother went through a phase where he was taking these like breath mints, but it was doing more harm then good.
If you feel like you need more caffeine than what coffee or soda provides, then you have a bigger problem that needs attention, and the caffeine is just a bandaid treating the symptoms of the deeper issue.
Yeah the pills would just be a replacement for the energy drinks that everyone says Will kill me.
How familiar are you with ADHD?
They’re about to be very.
There were signs….
I don’t, I have a medical condition that can make people sensitive to caffeine and I am one of those people. I honestly appreciate not relying on a stimulant anymore. I had already severely reduced my intake prior to my condition and I don’t miss it. I sleep better and feel better in general without it.
Yeah if I didn’t work the weird ass swing shift I do I’d probably try to stop.
Not throwing shade, but caffeine is a crutch.
If you ditched it, it would suck for a few months sure, but then your brain will adjust.
I’ve been caffeine free for over 20 years. If I stay up super late, or wake up super early, I struggle for a moment, but then I’m fine.
Water is my go to in the morning.
Your body is so used to caffeine, that you’re literally medicating yourself for a condition you created for yourself. You need it in the morning on a weird shift, because you always use it in the morning on a weird shift.
Again, sorry for the rant, I just feel very strongly about this scientific fact.
Best wishes to you
Its tough for me because I don’t work a consistent schedule. I work in a 28 day cycle. In total 14 days off, 7 days of 7 am-7pm and 7 days of 7 pm to 7 am, all mixed up.
Same
