I drink about a gallon of caffeinated drinks a day, sometimes more. Am I the only one?
I don't have problems sleeping, headaches, or with fatigue. I look forward to the jitters; it actually cheers me up to know that soon I'll be so intense.
- robbiep 8y ago~ 25% Caucasians are fast metabolisers of caffeine so can expect to not notice much of a change with standard doses. Doesn’t mean it isn’t doing it’s thing on a biochemical level (both reuptake of intracellular adenosine and driving tolerance)
- ulisesrmzroche 8y agoI was born and raised half my life in Mexico, so I probably don’t have that trait. I wonder if perhaps there’s something related though.

- Liquix 8y agoAre you the only one? No. Will that habit do long term damage to your physical, emotional, mental, and professional health? Absolutely. It's so common and acceptable to be physically addicted to a stimulant (caffeine) that people tend to forget they are indeed physically addicted to a stimulant. Not saying I haven't been there in the past... but wouldn't you view your habit differently if 'I'm not alive before my second cup of coffee, hehe!' was replaced with 'I need a bump of cocaine to start my day'? I'm not implying that cocaine and caffeine are equally harmful drugs, just pointing out that physical dependence on a stimulant is NOT healthy, even if it's the norm.
- e19293001 8y agoYour not the only one. I drink coffee and never had sleep problems even when I drink before going to bed. I don't know why.
- ulisesrmzroche 8y agoGood to know! I’ll start reading into it and let you know if I find anything.
