if I do I get IBS like issues :-(
I used to be able to drink it 4-6 time a day no problems. I'd happily drink one before bed and sleep like a log. It didnt keep me awake it made me want to ignore that that it was time for bed.
getting older sucks. much of what I used to enjoy eating and drinking is being taken away from me.
- anonu 1y ago> 4-6 time a day no problems I think that was your problem. That seems like way too much coffee and caffeine.
- jeffhuys 1y agoIt sneaks in though. I only knew I had a problem when I started getting seizures. Didn’t start at 6 cups a day. That happened over years and years of easy and accepted access to the drug everywhere I went. Having caffeine jitters is a joke in society. But it’s literally just overdosing on drugs. Just plain ordinary drugs.
- senderista 1y agoI can't tolerate caffeine anymore, but still make decaf espresso at home. Not quite the same, but good enough. (Ditto for N/A beer: there are some great options now.)
- AstroJetson 1y agoI would love to find Decaf cold brew, but it seems the only way is homemade. I do miss coffee after 20+ years. I grew up on “field engineering blend” where it poured like 40 weight motor oil. Ditto on getting older sucks, but I’ve been told not getting older sucks worse.
- jeffhuys 1y agoSame man, be happy you didn’t get as far as me: seizures and dissociation. It’s just plain drugs. Mass addiction. I mean, look at this thread, and replace coffee with anything else and it’s just junkies everywhere. I understand, but from the other side it’s weird to see.
