> drink less coffee Really? Curious about this, because everyone around me (including me) drinks a metric crap ton of caffeine, either in tea, coffee, or energ

  I've actually switched off caffeine in a big way since the pandemic started - I have a chance to sleep in later in the morning and get some activity before needing to get straight into work - additionally I can take a break mid-day to walk and clear my head or even shift some hours around and take a quick nap if I need it. A nice upside to remoting.

    Yup, I’m in the same boat. I must have reduced my coffee intake from several bad cups from an automatic vending machine to only 1.5 moka (6 cups each) per day. Still quite a lot of coffee, but it tastes much better.

    keep in mind that this is in gallons per capita, not in grams coffee beans or in a caffeine equivalent. So the stats may be misleading: People in 1960 would drink filter coffee. Today, they may take an espresso. Roughly same amount of ground coffee per cup, but less liquid. Then again, the stats for coffee beans per capita may trend in the same direction. We have other sources of caffeine today: You may drink a coke instead of a coffee when you're feeling sleepy.
