Coffee: Do you drink it?

Post Reply New Topic

I like stronger tasting foods, and to peacefully sip something, but am a slow metabolizer of caffeine, which slowly builds up, in my system, between cups.

I have very rarely missed a small pot a day, for several months in a row, now.

Not only does it keep me more trim, it seems to lower my blood sugar -- not especially in need of lowering.

I seem to get ulcers around Christmas, no, not from my own stress, and coffee makes them go from uncomfortable pressure, to spurting fire.

I not only want but need to go off.

I'm green around the gills, this morning. None for me.

I don't drink coffee very often however i don't mind the taste of it though.

I drink a cup of coffee almost daily, and find that moderation is definitely key. In high school, I drank coffee, Red Bull energy drinks and a lot of Mountain Dew Code Red. It got to the point where I was consuming so much caffeine that I was both extremely anxious and getting severe migraines every week. After I quit caffeine I had headaches for several months, despite being off the stuff.

After several years I decided to start drinking coffee again to increase my energy level, but I approached it by setting a limit of 1 cup a day. I think anymore than that will probably wreck me.

The bottom line is that if you want to start drinking coffee, take stock of how much caffeine (soda, etc.) you put into your body and start by consuming a little at a time. Just a little might pack a huge punch and exacerbate your symptoms so find your limit and stick to it because the last thing you need is more anxiety.

I had to learn to drink coffee, and the only style I drink quite happily is Turkish. But I am a natural tea drinker, I luvs me a nice cuppa tea

No, I don't drink it. I wonder if it's something you have to try as a child to get into it. I was never offered coffee as a child as it was considered an "adult" drink and when I finally did try it I just didn't like it.

Caffeine has no effect on me, unless I drink caffeine and not enough water, then I get dehydrated and that causes palpitations.

But Espresso is awful. It makes me sooo anxious, nervous, shaky, and my heart beats so fast

I do drink coffee once in a while like a social drink, but not very often at all because I don't like the bitter taste in my mouth

I can't drink it at all because of my anxiety. Definitely makes it worse.
I still have a couple of teas during the day.
