Does anyone else here feel like they can't function unless they've had their coffee?

I know exactly how you feel, I can hardly even concentrate at my desk unless I’ve had mine.

I can function without coffee but not as well. If you get headaches when you don’t get your morning coffee you are addicted to caffeine. You are going withdrawal. I used to drink a lot more coffee than I do now; I have cut down quite a bit but I still have several mugs of coffee every day.

I have to have some kind of caffeine, coffee or tea may be my drug of choice in the morning depending on the temperature.

Yes I get headaches with out it, what shall we do without our caffeine and nicotine.

@ filletofspam, you say you’ve cut down quite a bit but still have “several mugs a day”. How much is that? I have about 4 and some people say that’s a lot. @ Chris.. love the answer.. can’t live without the caffeine!!

Well I have about 3 to 4 cups, and then a cup of tea to go to bed, lol.

Many people call a mug a cup. A cup of coffee is 5 oz. The mugs most people use are 8-12 oz. I started drinking coffee when I was 12. They say coffee is an acquired taste but I can not remember ever not liking it. I enjoyed coffee but when I got my first desk job processing textbook orders I discovered that the more coffee I drank the taller my stack of completed orders was at the end of the day. More coffee=more work=happier boss. I got to the point where I was drinking about 1 mug of coffee every hour at work. If I worked 8 hours I’d drink 8 mugs, give or take. If I worked 12 hours I drank 12. When I pulled all-nighters I have no idea how much I drank but it was a lot! Then I decided that this was too much coffee and it couldn’t possibly be good for me so I started a long slow taper. First no coffee after 5PM, then after 4PM, etc. until I was down to a single mug every morning. After a few months I quit drinking coffee all together. The long slow taper allowed me to quit without withdrawal. I still drank coffee on special occasions; when eating out I would still have a cup with breakfast or with desert but I didn’t drink it every day. I didn’t drink coffee regularly for over 2 years. Then I started getting up an hour early to workout at the gym before work. I found to get up that early I needed some help so coffee worked its way back into my life. Now I drink 3 or 4 mugs/day which is about half of what I used to drink.

I’m more of a tea person. :]

I love my ice tea in the summer in Texas, it get very hot here need that cooling rush of tea.

I used to drink quite a bit of coffee each morning - 4-5 “Mugs” plus usually have an AMP, then have a soda with lunch - until I started getting really bad stomach aches, and the doc told me I had acid reflux….. and had to cut the caffeine WAY back. Now I get 1 mug of coffee OR one soda a day. If I have much more than that - especially if spicy food is involved - I get no sleep and spend the night in agony. (and thats while taking meds for it -_- w/o the meds the pain comes every night regardless, and I get tired of sleeping sitting up.)

Eat more foods with capsicum in them, this will really help digestion and also promote a higher metabolize.

I can’t fucytio withut cofese. See what I mean? I wrote that without my coffee.

my grandma says that :/

Hehe I mean hot tea, with tea bag and milk. But I do like iced tea as well in the summer.

Tea- Love it…
