I drink a lot of coffee. To the point where I will get a crippling headache sometime in the afternoon if I don't have at least a cup or two in the morning.
So... extremely dependent. I guess. |
Luckily this hasn't happened to me.. yet. But I know lots of guys who are as dependent as you are, and who also get headaches.
I started drinking coffee regularly when I started working from 9 til 5. On average, I'll have around 4 coffee/espresso before lunch and around 3 after lunch, so I guess I'm quite the average Dutchman, referring to MB's post. But I can do without coffee. On weekends, I rarely drink coffee. I'll have a Red Bull prior to going clubbing though. |

Good advice, although without cream and sugar to me is not drinkable, but at least with coffee you can keep it to a minimum. |
Interesting thing that happened once I went black coffee. Now I can NOT drink it with any milk or sugar.
My dishwasher at work thought he was doing me a favour by adding to my coffee. And when he asked about milk or cream I was like "No, black, plain." But little did I know he'd already put a spoon of sugar in it, not stirred, and when I got about halfway through the coffee it was disgusting syrup at the bottom. |

Does caffeine/red bull work for any of you?
I remember the first time I drank Red Bull. When I was in driving school, they only had theoretical classes early in the morning - and being an owl, I was barely conscious during the ordeal. One day I decided to drink Red Bull (and I didn't even have coffee back then). The result? I passed out and remained sound asleep for the next 3 or 4 hours, when the cleaning staff woke me up :p
To this day I don't feel it makes any difference, energy wise... |

| Try a coffee enema. I hear it's a good pick me up. |

| Sometimes I need it and sometimes I can go for days without it. Trying not to drink Red Bull anymore though. |

| Pretty addicted one way or the other. I try and limit myself to tea, but can only achieve 3rd gear in getting done with that. One Rock Star later, and I'm easily flying at 5th. |

| i drink a lot of tea but there is virtually no downside to that. It is pretty much healthier to drink than water. Maybe yerba mate is something you should try. No coffeine but it is a stimulant. Those energy drinks are so ing bad for you. You might as well smoke meth. |

That may be doubleplusgood for constipation, since coffee is a laxitive. |

This is actually a good alternative. Smoothies with the yerbs added does the trick for a while. If they're on sale, I'll go with an 'energy smoothie' any chance I get over the Rock Stars. |
