I drank a lot of coffee until I forgot to pack instant on a 3 day backpacking trip. Headache the whole time that I cured in 5 minutes by drinking a mt dew the minute we got back to civilization. Figured it wasn't worth it and weaned off.
Then it turned out my rate of getting migraines dropped off considerably. But I love coffee, so I tried decaf. Migraines returned to being more frequent. So that was that.
If I could get it without the side effects, I surely would. Right now I'm drinking a hot cup of delicious roasted barley tea. But it's not the same.
- Nifty3929 6mo agoPSA: decaffeinated coffee contains about 1/3 as much caffeine as regular - so far from caffeine free.
- mbil 6mo agoIt depends of course but typically it’s more like 3% the caffeine of regular coffee
- Nifty3929 6mo agoDecaffeinated is often marked as "97% caffeine free" or something like that, but regular coffee is 91% caffeine free, by weight.
- culi 6mo agoThat's not accurate. In an 8oz cup of decaf there's 2–15 mg of caffeine. Regular coffee is about 91 mg for an 8oz cup
