I'd just been considering trying to give up coffee. I guess that plan is out the window!

- wglb 17y agoEr, I would recommend giving it up, or at least cutting back. There was a period in a previous programming life where I drank 10 cups of coffee a day. At the end of one weekend after I had been yelling at everyone in the family for about two days, I quit cold turkey. And those were four days of serious discomfort. Headaches, cravings for coffee, distractions. But after a couple of weeks, I was fine and didn't drink any coffee for several years. The scary part was that my sleep became different after I quit. More calm. Now, I drink about one cup of decaffeinated a week, max. If you decide to try, it is useful to have a major distraction to keep you busy, like working in a startup, or a cross-country hike.
