ICTDirect_Dave Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I couldn't do three weeks without coffee! Hell I couldn't do three days! 1
featured_spectre Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I made coffee with redbull once....still buzzing to this day!
mrbios Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I must be 1 of very very few IT workers in the country that has never had a cup of tea or coffee in my entire life. I've had a sip of coffee but that's about it. So damn tired lately though that I'm considering taking it up.....

webman Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Just had my first cup of coffee for after a self imposed 3 week fast. Wow, I can see sounds! Its brilliant!! :rofl: Excellent! How did you find getting off it at the start of your fast - did you come down gradually before, or just put up with the caffeine withdrawal headaches until they went?
Quackers Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I'm trying to reduce my coffee intake lots, i feel like crap by the evening if i have coffee all day at work, i never use to drink this much coffee either. So far 1 or 2 cups a day i seem to be sticking to instead of the 10+ . I don't want to be one of those drug addicts who cannot wake up in the morning until i've had a coffee, and I'm guessing thats the next stage if i don't cut down.
mrbios Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I don't get it. How do you 'work'? Well i tend to get out of bed, walk around like a zombie for a bit, walk to work in the cold and miraculously feel awake by the time i get there
rad Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Occasional tea drinker, but not at work, I'd rather have water or squash. Have you been in our staff room?
Garacesh Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I dont drink tea or coffee, cant stand the stuff. I'm with you on this one, gives me headaches and stomach pains Occasional tea drinker, but not at work, I'd rather have water or squash. Have you been in our staff room? Everyone here has their own cup, and brings their own brew supplies. Problem solved.
localzuk Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Hate coffee. I equate it with medicine, as I only ever have it when I my inhaler has ran out and I need something to ease my airways before I get to hospital... Tea though. Tea is an art form. Tea, Earl Grey, Hot. MMmmmm 1
Hefferzzzz Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Excellent! How did you find getting off it at the start of your fast - did you come down gradually before, or just put up with the caffeine withdrawal headaches until they went? I stopped drinking it because I had a feeling it was making me quite ill - headaches, stomach cramps, bloatedness.....not had any of that for two weeks even allowing for Christmas indulgences. Quite lucky in the fact that once I decide on something then that is it so I came in one day and didnt have any at all, really wanted one but reminded myself why and that was it, one day became and then two, three days and so on. I should say that I dont drink tea either, probably a handful of cups a year at most.
AMLinington Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I R HARDCORE! Caffeine does nasty things to my kidneys so I avoid it. I drink fruit teas. I even order decaff lattes when I'm out and about. I don't even drink 'normal tea' at work. In an office that literally operates on caffeine I'm the only one that is 'dry'.

jinnantonnixx Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) Ha... this reminds me of a time a couple of years ago when I received a bag of chocolate covered coffee beans as part of a Christmas goody bag. Well, I started munching, and went through the whole pack in a morning. I was trembling by lunchtime. I would have been able to catch a fly with one chopstick.

JJonas Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 couldn't do without my coffee fix, I'm a 2-3 cups a day user
AMLinington Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Ha... this reminds me of a time a couple of years ago when I received a bag of chocolate covered coffee beans as part of a Christmas goody bag. Well, I started munching, and went through the whole pack in a morning. I was trembling by lunchtime. I would have been able to catch a fly with one chopstick. Part of the reason I had to give up caffeine - I used to get the 'caffeine come down shakes' - it was quite embarrassing. It reached a head when some woman literally veered out in front of my car in a cark park - she was walking on the path and did an abrupt 90 degree turn into the road and bounced off my bonnet (I was going super-slow - it was a multi storey car park and I was parking). It left me a bit shaky but I went off to lunch, had my usual coffee but by about 3pm I was huddled on the floor of a back room in a warehouse (I was a rep) trembling so hard I couldn't co-ordinate my hands enough to punch in the door code. Needless to say I had to drastically cut back after that... My theory is that the adrenaline released when the stupid bint walked into my car amplified the effect of the caffeine I consumed immediately afterwards. Bad plan. Bad bad BAD plan.
Greenbeast Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah I've gone to 1-2 cups before 12pm only. I missed it for 24 hours once and got a headache for the next 24-36 hours out of it. not good
abillybob Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 It's funny you should say stomach cramps due to coffee intake, I have stopped all coffee now just tea and squash as I'm on a health drive for the new year. I used to get really painful stomach aches but since I've stopped drinking coffee this has also stopped!!! I wonder if coffee was the culprit!?I stopped drinking it because I had a feeling it was making me quite ill - headaches, stomach cramps, bloatedness.....not had any of that for two weeks even allowing for Christmas indulgences. Quite lucky in the fact that once I decide on something then that is it so I came in one day and didnt have any at all, really wanted one but reminded myself why and that was it, one day became and then two, three days and so on.

rich_tech Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 I bring a flask in here (equivalent to 3 large mugs) and drink it throughout the day (I like decent coffee, not the "flat pack" kenco stuff in our vending machine, that is bland), dont drink hot drinks much outside of work though, still love a coffee, took me ages to give up the sugar in it though and have it plain with milk
