Eyeballs and I don’t have time for your FUCKING NUMBERS STOP BREATHING AT ME

two cups a day, stopping before 3pm. usually shit my pants at around 10

I don’t, so zero

I detest coffee. My caffeine intake is wholly sodas, specifically Coke Zero. It only has 34mg per 12oz, so I don’t get a lot of caffeine every day.

I’m not a medical professional, this is not medical advice.

So there are factors to consider; the strength of the dosage and the frequency at which it’s being consumed. Additionally if there are rest cycles.

The positive effects of caffeine are significantly reduced by the frequency it’s consumed. This can lead the user to consume more to reach their desired experience.

The negative effects however are capable of stacking. Such as its impact on blood pressure and one’s capacity to regulate emotions. Caffeine is also a poor stimulate for someone who is already fatigued or is experiencing weakened attention. It’s best at maintaining ones current level of awareness and fatigue.

One could be accidentally poisoning themselves with vitamins or other additives before caffeine becomes the concern.

It’s generally accepted that 400mg of caffeine in a 24 hour period for a healthy individual is the maximum dosage.

To avoid a dependency on caffeine and to experience its positive effects at regular dosages. It’s best to practice moderation only by consuming it rarely.

Many people will find this unreasonable. The next best option is to practice rest cycles of equivalent proportions. Such as 2 days on, 2 days off. Going larger than that invites negative effects such as withdrawal and tolerance forming.

Everyone is unique, I’m not trying to write a scientific paper. I invite everyone to scrutinize this information and consult with qualified professionals about their own health before following through with information on the Internet. Addiction in all its forms is a serious matter and deserves respect.

I miss coffee, but I can’t afford decaff right now. Been drinking a lot of roibis tea recently. Tastes good especially with oat milk and no caffeine

Rectally, to mix things up!

Boof it; Enough.

Tea, about 6 pints a day, my cup holds just over 1 pint 6* a day. I have mini tuocha for home, tea resin for travel, and some curio tea for variety.

I have caffeine pills in the car, but I’ve never used them. As for caffeine amount I dunno… a lot probably.

I drink about 1, 24oz can of NOS a day and those have, IIRC, 350mg of caffeine total. It’s 4 servings.

Cold brew with a splash of heavy cream. IYKYK. Lately La Colombe light roast. Over ice in a rocks glass. 2 or 3 a day.

If I have any after 3:30pm I take an L-Theanine or eat a banana to take the edge off and protect my sleep.

Right now I have 3 sources:

• mate drinks like Mio Mate (found in Germany) and that’s 100 mg a bottle which is all I’ll have a day unless I’m really feeling it (so max 200).
• black coffee which I hand grind and brew via aeropress. Just one cup normally. I don’t have any idea how many mg that is but it feels as fast as the mate although maybe anecdotally weaker.
• loose leaf tea, which I brew once or twice a day, using old leaves from the day before (if I’m on a streak) and a splash of new ones (unless it’s the first day where it’s all new). Feels slower but lasts longer so maybe it’s more caffeine? I guess it depends on if I’m doing black or green or white etc.

So I’d guess 100-150 mg on average on days where I’m having caffeine. I try to do long breaks between a couple weeks of having it. So like a week or two of drinking caffeinated drinks and a week or two not having it. Not too stringent but just something I’m cognizant of to not get dependent.

The last day I consumed a ridiculous amount of coffee was a triple shot long black, two double shots long blacks, and an extra strong cappuccino (or two). All before 2PM. Bad day at work.

Realised I was drinking it way too often and too high of a concentration to be healthy, and it was really affecting me negatively. I quit cold turkey, and I haven’t looked back.

Now I can drink matcha and chai (both made at home… Can’t justify $8+ for either at a cafe). Only one or the other per day. Coffee is cheaper at a cafe, but unsure if I want to go down that road again.

Unironically recommend Gamersupps, despite their whole marketing schtick of ridiculous art on some of the flavours, the actual drinks themselves are undeniably good.

None of the canned energy drink blood thinners and aspatame /acesulfamine sweeteners, none of the sugar since theyve replaced it with sucralose, none of the Lead found in other energy drink powders, they actually pay their artists and outright refuse to use generative images.

If I don’t need it, I don’t take any, or maybe a single can of soda in the morning.

If I need it, I take as much as needed to stay as alert as I need to be.

Pump based Liquid Caffeine and flavored water is my preference. That way I don’t dink caffeine because I’m thirsty and I don’t drink until I have to constantly pee if i’m sleep deprived.

If you just take it all the time, your body relies on it, it’s better to reduce when you can to get a better return when you can’t
