Plenty of people are addicted to caffeine too. Maybe we should stop with all the drug addict discourse altogether, because it's dumb and counter productive and doesn't get people the help they really need. Lots of people can use drugs responsibly and lots of people can spiral into harmful lifestyle situations without ever touching pills or powders.
No. A person who can use drugs responsibly is not a drug addict.
Plus plenty of people who metabolize stimulants... weirdly. Caffeine does fuck all for me (aside from give me the shits) if I chug it, but sipping an energy drink over the course of a few hours does wonders in little ways.
I think your problem is with coffee, not caffeine.
I genuinely wish it was, but it's caffeine in general. Can't do high-caffeine coffee drinks because they've all got fuckin' dairy in them, and regular hot coffee puts me to sleep.
Energy drinks are caffeine though
Maybe it’s the taurine, alpha gpc, and B vitamins that make the caffeine more effective for him
Yes. And they give me the shits, and don't really do much for me if I chug them. And no, it's not a tolerance buildup thing, I can go months without caffeine, and chug 2-3 200mg energy drinks.
Energy drinks are a combination of a lot of stuff.
Try black cold brew?
Putting things in your coffee will send you to hell. ;)
Reminded me this
