Decaf (1 Viewer)

Ugh. Decaf? Seriously?

Yeah, seriously. I need to cut back on the coffee, because of the side effects. Is it actually possible to get decent decaf? Any recommendations?

And alcohol free booze while you're at it. Oh, any any activities that are utterly free of joy. List those fuckers. I'll need something to do while everyone is enjoying their beer and coffee.

I've been on the decaf teabags for years. They're grand. I drink about a litre of coke a day though.

If you sniff some board markers after your decaf brew you'll be grand.

It feels great to give up coffee even for a week or two. The problem is that it's so prevalent easy to make a cup if there some in the house for instance. Tea is a good way of cutting down on coffee but I suppose allot of tea is close to having coffee.

You'd be better off on the Tea tbh there.

I used to have a serious coke problem. But i kicked it, man. you can too.

I do coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon. But, you know..palpitations, anxiety, insomnia... that's some party I'd rather not go to.

I say as i snaffle my third cup of Java. Basically I want to trick my brain into thinking it's getting the real deal. Stupid brain.

Just measured my resting heart rate. 195bpm.

Is that good or bad?

Pretty sure it's not ideal.

I don't have anything with caffeine in it after midday. I have some decaff in the cupboard, but what's the point?

I really want to try a can of the Monster energy drink after Louis Theroux starting singing I Can Boogie on the Buxton podcast after drinking some, but I haven't had the courage to buy a can of it yet as a man in his mid 30s.

Sure what is, these days?

 

[pete]

About 70bpm I think

I've tried to cut down on the caffeine today. I AM FUCKING WRECKED. So I'm having an afternoon coffee, or I will die. So, basically the opposite of everything I'd hoped to achieve is happening. Fuck my life.

I love a good cup of black coffee but I cut back because of the headaches. If I was having 3 or more cups a day and then maybe having a lie in on a Saturday. I would wake up with a throbbing headache because I hadn't had my caffeine fix. And it would last most of the day. So now I might have one or maybe two cups a day, sometimes none & vary the times...so I don't develop a habit, sounds stupid but I don't get the headaches anymore.

Lidl do a nice peppermint & licorice tea bag.....

I only get headaches if I stop drinking it
