I actually tried coffee for the first time last week and the cons outweigh the pros. If I stop drinking coffee I get caffeine withdraws that give me headaches which are really annoying and it cost money (I'm Stingy with my money). You get addicted and you cant stop drinking it to a point that you need it to normally function and it will no longer act as a boost of energy. The only pro is that it taste good I honestly don't see the benefit of drinking it. But hey for other people it works miracles. To me though I don't like the factors involving coffee.

Re: Caffefine, a modern day poison or a sweet elixir of energy?

actually on second thought rather than being a mindless non-contributing messiah complex'd douchewad i'll just point out a couple things regarding pure tablet consumption

- you can get 100 200 mg tablets for 8 bucks on amazon (that's 20000mg for u philosphlery-inclined folks), perhaps if you try hard enough you can use logic to determine whether or not this is pessemistic relative to the cost of appropriating such a cache from conventional liquid supplication (perhaps confer/consort/commingle with uer colleague to if you have trouble emancipating the solution from your personal cognitive engine)

ok i dont give enough shits to be sassy any longer

- i find pure tablets get absorbed more quickly i would definitively say they do but i dont really care enough to go look up papers in medical journals to support my perception
- it's easier to monitor consumption and over time i've reduced daily consumption to about 40% compared to 6 months ago
- ez to transport if you need a little kick during the working hour doldrums (not that i have any experience with that pleb shit)

I will be glad to share some facts and statistics about caffefine once we commence the discussion.

Where the stats at?

I've been drinking more caffeine (soda) this past week but my acne is starting to flare up from the sugar probably, so I gotta stop. Either that or stress, but I'm cool as a cucumber, so I'll blame sugar.

It's probably a poison. But it helps keep me awake on 3.5 hour "naps" which are me not being able to sleep but at least having my eyes closed. I'm a mess right now.

Edit: 1337 posts, btw.

The withdraws are really mild once you get used to them. It's like "Oh I have a bit of a migraine it must be the caffeine" and you move on. As for addiction the worst I've gotten is a drinking habit, where I'll get up and check the fridge even though I know we're out of soda. Its effects, while slightly dulled after awhile, are consistent even after months of drinking, and I personally haven't found a dependence on it to function normally.

coffee gives me severe stomach acid no matter how I take it and i'm rly sensitive to caffeine so in light quantities it's p.coul (y)

Anything is poisonous in high enough dosages. Caffeine is the least of most people's problems.

Re: Caffefine, a modern day poison or a sweet elixir of energy?

Wow someone else does morning caffeine tablets.

Yeah, I started doing this some time ago.

It's more effective than drinking coffee, it's easier, it's way way way cheaper and overall a fantastic idea. One of the best minor life changes I've ever made.

People are so accustomed to getting their caffeine in diluted liquid form that they can't even imagine taking a pill but it's so much easier if you need the kick.


Note, combining a caffeine pill with acetaminophen is also a fantastic headache / migraine remedy!

lol at needing caffeine to get through the day

Re: Caffefine, a modern day poison or a sweet elixir of energy?

Caffeine is whatever to me now lol

Edit: I guess the only time I do use caffeine is from my preworkout. Pretty sure that gives me about 200-300 mg of caffeine if I decide to use it. For the most part, I can pretty much go throughout the day just fine without it.
