How do you do it? I know its tolerance etc but damn. I had two cups this morning and I feel dizzy, nauseaus, jittery and dirty. Feel like someone spiked my water with crank or crack etc. I just wanted a pick me up to keep from an afternooon slump and I feel scatterbrained instead.(as per usual hehe).I want a brng me back down drink.

I love it, gimme a large latte in the morning
and I won't bite your head off.

Or a HUGE iced-latte in the summertime

I gotta have two cups before i can even move my eyelids in the morning.

i remember those days of dizziness and hyperness from coffee. Nowadays i need half a pot to get out of the house!

Coffee, and caffine in general, has absolutely no affect on me.

I downed quads in High School, while working till after midnight five days a week. All we had to drink at school was caffeine from machines, I'd do several sodas and bring on the iced coffee and straight shots at work for hours. We'd pour assorted syrups (worked in a deli) in the quad shots and do it like it was alcohol.

I remember those days... I could go straight to sleep afterwards, too... it has absolutely no effect on me and hasn't for years. I don't shake a bit and can drink ten cups of coffee. It's like smoking now though, I get agitated if I don't get some. I've tried to quit and have sickening withdrawals. Caffeine calms me down after a long day!

It just doesn't have any effect on me anymore, except to keep me alive.

I'm a coffee freak...if its a sin then thats a biggie*

Love it!


You probably would have been fine with nursing 1 cup only.

I drink about 3 pots a day...easy!!

Lightweights!

i didn't like it until i started working the graveyard shift at a radio station in college. that's when i learned the real power of now i'm addicted.

At the end of high school and through college I drank lots of coffee! All the time, and it barely phased me.
Now after too much I get all dizzy and shaky and everything. I still drink the occasional caramel mocha latte or a frozen coffee freezey-thing in the summer as a treat. But no caffeine after, like, 10am or I can't get to sleep at night.
In fact, a few weeks ago I went out on a week night with some friends and decided to have a few stoli vanilla cokes. I made it home at a decent hour, but still couldn't get to sleep until about 3am from the caffeine! I was not a happy person the next day at work.

Stick to hot chocolate.

i gotta have my coffee in the morning...and there are even times where i have during the day...or right when i come home from work...
coffee is my freind
although...i have gone thru times where i drank no caffiene...and when i started back up, i felt the exact same way that you did today...and thats no fun...
i guess you just gotta have the tolerance thing goin on...

A cup a day gets the "C" on his way

I can't survive without that first cuppa in the morning. Ahhh...sweet brew.

Um, no.

I was studying for some finals, and I drank 3 double-expresso latte's...

That did it for me. No more.

LaVisHh said:

What? EVER? i tell you, i cannot live without coffee, i think i'd go on a murderous rampage or something without it.

Marrk said:

Goodness, I used to drink coffee when in college...I've never been THAT bad.

Bring it on!

Mmm,



I live on it - like a car lives on gasoline.

There's always a filled cup o' coffee on my desk, and it's replaced before it's empty.
Switch to water and tea in the afternoon, though. Gotto get rid of the coffee-poison then...

First thing in the morning I am a tea drinker myself...then onto good strong coffee - hold the milk - for the rest of the day!!

coffee really fucks me up lol

And that is a good thing?

I usually have 5-6 large cups of fresh coffee every morning, and only after the 2nd one do I start to come around.

I think I have about 12 cups a day. And the coffee actually tastes like *shit* and kinda makes my stomach go crazy. Still, I drink it. Lots of it.

except the occasional cappucino... and those frappacino things that starbucks puts out are good occasionally...
