Giving Up Coffee

[DXP55]

I used to drink a load of coffee but one day for some unknown reason I was sick as dog and smell was coffee - never touched it for years but now do like a nice cup occasionally - The same thing also happened with Rum but still can't face a glass of it even after 30 yrs.

8 Cups a day!!!

How about 15 to 20 a day?

Do you get the shakes?

Can you not sleep ?

I drink so much coffee you would not understand!

Trust me it keeps you going and there is nothing wrong with it!

Unless you a watch maker!!

I have tried cutting out coffee but I honest to got get withdrawal. Cant sleep, moody, feel sick, it was a nightmare.

Why would you want to cut coffee out anyway?

Coffee is good, I couldn't completely cut it out - but I do only have 1 or 2 a day, 8 is a bit excessive in my opinion.

I went from almost chain drinking (~8 mugs) of coffee a day at work to cutting it out completely, cold turkey.

It was a rough few days!

The excess I drink really can't be good for me. Especially since I already suffer panic attacks.

I think the biggest problem is going to be the hunger factor - it seems to fill me up (and I'll concede I'm naughty and tend to skip breakfast).

Rarely does a post so succinctly provide both a problem *and* a solution!

But seriously why quit, just cut down. I have 3 max a day and never after 1pm unless its weekend

 

[Kelt]

Give up coffee...? No, just...no.

 

[antijoke]

Lol some of you guys drink crazy amounts, I thought my 3 a day was excessive.

3-4 cups a day has proven health benefits with insignificant side effects. Decrease your coffee comsumption by 50%, there's no need to give it up.

Switch to tea. That's what I did.

loads of varieties of tea as well so even if you don't like normal tea much you should be able to find something

Just drink decafinated.

Yeah, and have a glass of urine while you're at it.

OP, do what you want. I don't drink much coffee these days but that's largely because I'd like to live past 50 and I used to be on 20-30 shots of espresso a day, naturally the doctors told me that was a bit excessive.

Every time you feel the urge for a strong cup of coffee, have a refreshing pint of lager instead.

Mornings a particular problem for you? Try adding 2 shots of scotch to your pint. It's amazing what a difference this simple addition can make!

Also known as the Scottish method.

Give it up, never! I have cut down my input to cup or two in the morning.

"Are

eh lads I said I liked magazines, what's that? getting me jam salad everywhere"

Laughed way too hard at that.

Also, I don't know about you guys (or gals), but this gif really makes me want a coffee..

 

[Gregster]

Surely one must have a few pleasures in life? Cutting out all that's bad makes johnny a bad boy.

I'd be interested to see the evidence on this one.
