How do you get your caffeine?

I've had the individual cups before at my old job. The coffee was always extremely bitter. And yes, the capsules are really wasteful. I'd be lying if I said I stopped because of the excessive use of plastic though. It was mostly the off-putting taste.
Now I go for maximum pretentiousness by buying beans from a micro-roasterie in town, grinding the beans myself, and using a French press. It's not very efficient, but it is delicious. No cream or sugar necessary.
Although, I don't discriminate a lot either. I will drink whatever is in the pot at work when I don't bring my own. It's still pretty good. I usually have around 2 cups a day. Too much caffeine will make me jittery all day and unable to sleep at night.
I'll also drink caffeinated colas occasionally for lunch or dinner like Coke or Pepsi. I try to buy the stuff made with real sugar. It has a different sort of sweetness to it that I like.

Instant coffee, either half hot water, half cold milk and 2 sweetners, or microwave some milk to have it 100% milk.
More likely to have tea from bag, much less milky than the coffee but still 2 sweetners.

No, it's any form of caffeine - chocolate, coffee, soft drink, tablet. Makes me feel like i'm dying, intense anxiety, hallucinations. I wouldn't take it if someone paid me $1000.Barbas said:
I take caffine pills. I've always hated coffee but I've gotten to the point in my life where sometimes the extra zing is needed to kick me into work mode.
I'm a caffeine fiend and I have about a pot of coffee a day.
During the week, I will go to my local coffee shop and get a large of whatever the coffee of the day is and I will do that twice a day. Work has some coffee and I will drink that on and off, and I eventually have to make a pot since that's just the way it is. Then about 5pm I will hit up a coffee shop near campus for a large some cold brew. I normally do that with some cream, but there are days where I drink it black. That stuff is strong, let me tell you.
Then on the weekends, I will go through a pot in the morning/early morning and call it good.
I really don't do anything fancy with the stuff. Just some milk/cream and that's about it.

Everything, literally EVERYTHING is poisonous if you get too much of it. Somethings more than others. Seriously if you drink three gallons of water within like 12 hours you can effectively drown every cell in your body. There is enough nicotine in 3 cigarettes to kill an adult human if you give it too them all at once. Caffine is just a minor stimulant and analgesic, for most people it's perfectly safe, even in massive quantities. It's all about how much is dangerous, somethings are more potently dangerous in smaller amounts, other things are a lot less dangerous, even in large amounts.Blood Brain Barrier said:
That's a pretty severe reaction, have you talked to your doctor about that?Blood Brain Barrier said:
Doctors don't give a shit. If it's not something they've learned about in school, as far as most of them are concerned it doesn't existKyuubiNoKitsune-Hime said:
It wouldn't matter. Modern day doctors aren't scientists. They aren't interested in what's going on in your body. They refer to guidelines, regulations and books which tell them what to do, and then they do it.Barbas said:
I hope that computers can take over the role within the next few decades. At least they'd have a decent bedside manner.
