Have been drinking it for 25 years. Had a few months without here and there. It's not much different unless your usage has been excessive, which clearly was the case here.
Different people have different metabolism of caffeine and different reactions. It's very well documented. I'm one of those who have it easier to nap after strong coffee than before it. But I do love my espresso.
If you are looking for a reason to start a new better life with some different drug read about caffeine influence on adenosine. For some people coffee can influence their sleep pretty bad and that's no good.
Moderate amounts of coffee correlate positively with better health.
Also watch for slight dehydration and if you like it white - the fact that many people have at least a tiny lactose intolerance. In Italy almost nobody drinks coffee with milk after noon.
And really, statistically, it's one of the easiest popular drugs to quit. Maybe a few headaches here and there and you're done. It's mostly about the ritual and lifestyle.
- Bellamy 5y agoI agree with you in almost everything. Even with the 25 years drinking period. :) What I don't agree is the easy to quit part. I get headaches and don't stay awake. Even worse is the depression that follows. I know I feel better without (quit two times) but quitting is really tough.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoQuitting cold turkey is bad. The only way I successfully did it was become very aware, used the same cup for getting it and cut down 1 cup a day every week until there were no more cups. I didn't get any headaches. When I quit cold turkey massive headaches for hours that required aspirin to function as a coder.
