Darn. Never touched coffee myself. People always seem surprised especially when they discover I'm a developer.

We'll just go ahead and assume you don't drink coffee because you're too busy munching on mouthfuls of Adderall tablets like they were Tic-Tacs.

  Oh. I think I have a sensitivity to caffeine, because drinking coffee causes an onset of a migraine that I don't like when I'm writing code or managing systems.

    Typically caffeine headaches occur when you stop drinking it.
    - Ayaz 12y ago
      Yes. Only, I have never been a habitual drinker of coffee. When I started drinking regularly for a short period, I stopped once I noticed the pattern. For me, cheese and chocolate, as well, triggers a migraine.

        Chocolate of course has theobromine, similar to caffeine with similar effects. Cheese? Any idea why that might be similar?

        Maybe the common thing that is irritating him is the milk products in Cheese, Coffee and Chocolate.

        An interesting hypothesis, undermined if the coffee was black.

        I have felt that certain dairy products do trigger the migraine. However, milk itself doesn't cause it. I also drink milked-tea regularly without any headaches/migraines.

        Tyramine? Tyramine could be the cause of headaches, especially if MAOIs are involved.

      Some people get a caffeine headache in the morning because they haven't been drinking it while they were asleep.

    Caffeine headaches? You mean the headaches that people get when they try and take away my caffeine and I hit them in the head?

We can assume you don't get enough sleep like the rest of us. What are you using then, soda?

  Not sure if sarcastic but...some people write code and are well rested.

  I often have a cup of tea, but that's often herbal. I rarely ever drink soda. Strangely, I'll still ask people if they want to meet for coffee, even though I don't drink it. It just seems to be the standard beverage for these sorts of things.

  My guess would be Mountain Dew or similar
  - michaelmior 12y ago
    Nope, just water and tea, often herbal. Those are really the only two things I drink with any regular frequency, not counting the milk in my morning cereal.
    - kyllo 12y ago
      You must get plenty of sleep then. Good for you!

  I don't drink coffee either. I drink water and unsweetened iced tea. That's about the only things that I drink that is non alcoholic.
