Would you consider yourself a coffee addict?

[thegreenyogi]

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I think I recently became one. I quit drinking alcohol towards the end of last year but since then, I've been drinking a whole lot of black coffee. I just drink this instant brand at home:

Nescafe Gold Blend

I try to limit myself to 5 cups max a day but I have a tendency to often drink like 15.

[thegreenyogi]

Wow!! That's quite a leap from 5 to 15!!

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Before I quit drinking alcohol, I only drank 1 or 2. But I think I've ended up substituting alcohol with coffee to a large extent and have "binge coffee" days. At least I'm not turning into a drunken idiot or getting hangovers from it. Yet I might need to start working on cutting it down.

[thegreenyogi]

That's very true!! Between alcohol and coffee, coffee is definitely the best option. Good for you that you have been able to get away from drinking alcohol!!

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Thanks! 🤝I haven't noticed it affecting my sleep much to consume so much coffee but I've always been a bit of an insomniac so maybe it doesn't make as much difference for me. 😅

[HawkPerception]

@Guyanswersgirls That's because coffee is an adenosine (the chemical that makes you sleep) inhibitor and the more you drink coffee, the more adenosine receptors in your brain are made, thus the more coffee you'll need to see an impact. It's not good to drink excessive amounts of coffee because it can lead increased heart rate, raised blood pressure, anxiety, and other side effects.

They say you should limit yourself to approximately 400mg of coffee per day, which is roughly around 4-5 cups of coffee per day. You're well over that and I recommend you watch your consumption.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

@HawkPerception I will give it a shot! Currently still getting settled into the no alcohol thing so I figure it still beats a bottle of whiskey+. But next thing to whittle down for sure. 🤝

[HawkPerception]

Fair enough man! Do what ya gotta do! I have faith is ya!

[Kulotz]

consider drinking filtered coffee or americano. instant coffees are very harmful for your stomach. I suggest you drinking herbal teas. very happy to hear that you quit alcohol. xx

[WhiteSteve]

Never hd a single sip of it in my lifetime😅 Everyone seems so dependent on it, I just never wanted to pick up the habit.

[thegreenyogi]

Good for you!!

[Kulotz]

No. because there are days I can go without coffee. But I like drinking it so much

[thegreenyogi]

And you don't suffer withdrawal symptoms when you don't drink it?

[Kulotz]

nope. how about you?

[thegreenyogi]

I actually am detoxing from coffee because it was causing me insomnia and I am currently suffering from withdrawal symptoms. I would have 5 espresso coffees per day.

[Kulotz]

Omg. When I was in the college I had 4 coffees in a day and started shake and cried. Never did it again. If you are having insomnia problems you shouldn't take caffeine after 2 pm. I dont imply coffee only. Black tea, green tea, coke etc.

[thegreenyogi]

Thank you for the advice!!

[DizzyDesii]

No. I dont drink it daily, weekly, monthly nor yearly.

[exitseven]

ne neether

[katiesmuff]

No I don't! My routine is a 12 oz cup when I get up, one more bit later then a third once I get to work and the coffee is on. That is it for most days. Home days it just usually the early 12 oz cups. Just water during the day and evening with occasional cocktail most evenings or wine with dinner.

[JustinTheGreat]

I don't know about addict. However I never thought I “needed” coffee until recently.
I don’t drink coffee every day. I would only drink it when I worked a morning shift. There was a while where I was working morning shifts every day.
One day I didn’t make myself a coffee right away and I felt like shit. I was so groggy and I was in a bad mood. That’s when I realized that I need coffee more than I think I do 🥲

[JacobJordan]

Nah mate you needed water and some extra oxygen. That groggy feeling you have in the morning is a result of breathing slower all night. Have a glass of water some deep breaths of fresh (ish) air and then see how you feel. Most of the time the grogginess goes away after that.

[BonzoInBitburg]

I took a vacation to Hawaii to visit Kona coffee plantations and then I went to Jamaica to go to Blue Mountain coffee plantations. I might be a coffee addict. And a coffee snob

[Wraith_Cemetery]

My cousin on Father's side lives in Hawaii. He brought two bags of Kona coffee, straight from a plantation, on a visit for me one time. Best coffee I ever had. That was years ago though. Prices on it skyrocketed since then so I rarely get to buy it for myself.

Second best I had was from Cuba. Really sweet and light.

[Nikki1989]

Very much so. 10, 20 cups a day sometimes.

[thegreenyogi]

That's a lot...

[Nikki1989]

Yep. I drink 3 or 4 before I leave for work alone.

[BonzoInBitburg]

When I worked from home, it was 5-7 pots of coffee and a pot before bed

[Pinay_ako]

Not an addict but I like drinking coffee. Preferably lattes. At a Portuguese buffet, I had 4 cups of those babies. I can always drink a latte no matter what time it is.

[Chevy1_kb]

No I can only drink decaf coffee I'm not aloud caffeine or energy drinks because of my epilepsy but I drink decaf coffee but I'm mostly a te girl than coffee

[jshm2]

You mean "caffeine addict" as decaff coffee is not.

Most people, like most drinkers and smokers, are more addicted to the habit than the product.

[petitedollbabee]

Not at all, I have coffee maybe twice per year. Although I’m expecting my first child soon.. maybe my lack of coffee drinking will change, lol.

[Xia1994]

I'm not addicted to coffee🥹. I'm addicted to soda😭😭😭😭😭

[thatshydork]

No, I don’t like how bitter it is so when I do get anything caffeinated, it’s usually tea of some kind or decaf.

[MrOracle]

I hate coffee, so, no. No tea either. Mostly just water, but some soda and juice. I don't drink alcohol either.

[ArrowheadSW]

I drink about two cups a day. If I don't have at least one cup, I will get somewhat of a headache.

[FunkyMonkee]

Never touch the stuff!! The closet I ever got was French Vanilla cappuccino about 30 years ago and then I quit. I'm a tea or hot chocolate drinker!

[dustybiker2]

Nope. I like coffee caramel sweets from time to time. My vice is black tea with milk.

[electromagnetic]

I’m not addicted per se but I do love the taste. Mostly because my mouth is bored.

[exitseven]

I do not drink coffee at all and neither does my wife. I tried it once in college and did not like it.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I drank between 1-1.5L a day before my heart attack. Now only about 4 cups.

[Titanic1912]

I wouldn’t say that. I have a cup when I get up early to go to work and I don’t have more than one cup. And I hardly have to get up early.

[itsclearlynicholas]

Soda and soft drinks equivalents and water / tap water and vanilla milkshakes mmmm 😋 🥤 🍼

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I usually drink 6 cups in the morning.

[Ms_Facesitter]

I can count the times I drink it a month on one hand :)

[art84]

I used to drink like three cups of coffee a day but now it's just two cups in the morning or afternoon.

[bobby_bush_eater]

No. I like a cappuccino or a cafe con leche but they make me insanely gassy...

I try to stick to tea at least at work

[Still-alive]

ehh not really. i just have my morning joe and thats it. if i don't have it i get sluggish but i can deal. its not the end of the world lol.

[Iron_Man]

No I don’t think so. Its just got caffeine in it. I drink sodas, every day but not that much but it has caffeine to and I’m not addicted to it.

[RingOfFire]

Love coffee but sadly it doesn't love me. Unrequited love sucks.

[Darkest-Knight]

I use to be. At one time I would drink 10 cups over a 12 hour period. Now I'm down to three or four.

[LiamJHayden]

I drink tea. Cannot stand the taste of coffee.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Only if it has liquor in it. Granted in that case I'd want the coffee on the side.

[dolemite58]

No lol I only drink coffee on occasion I’m more of a tea drinker

[Paris13]

[Koneko911]

Yes. Absolutely. 100%

[Dreamclouds]

No, coffee sucks

[Dreamclouds]

I mean seriously if you need energy take raw cacao coffe just gives you false energy and not latent

[thegreenyogi]

I agree with your point of view. It's the reason why I am detoxing from coffee because it really is terrible.
