How come people still drink coffee?

I never have coffee.


I've also been made fun of by other people for not being a coffee drinker.

I'm 30 and people seem to get almost offended if I refuse a coffee, call me a baby, or child, and that every adult drinks coffee, what kind of adult doesn't drink coffee?

Fucking cunts fuck off with your coffee.

Exercise and gym memberships is the biggest posion and money waste of our century.

coffee by itself, i agree.

that is why enlightened people take caffeine pills with l-theanine. all the negatives removed, positives boosted.

Because it gives me an awesome rush of energy and makes me feel happy for about 2 minutes.

No idea, I prefer hot tea. It gives you a buzz but it's not as overpowering as coffee, and it doesnt end in a crash like coffee does. Plus tea actually has health benefits depending on what you drink. I like green tea, oolong, earl grey...

>>42233590
I'd drink tea if it weren't for the horrbile Fluoride.

Coffee is Gr8 don't be a faglord

>>42233479
I like you

No idea. I imagine it's like a cigratte kind of deal.
I used to wake up at 6am, make a cup of coffee and sit outside on my porch drinking it and relaxing for about 20minutes before starting anything else that day.

It was a great way to unwind.

I cut that shit out and replaced it with water. Water for fucking everything. I hate water unless it's during or after a workout.

I still think about how calming it was to wake up with that simple cup of coffee in the morning. But again, I imagine it's similar to a cig for some folks.

>>42233402
>adrenal fatigue
Meme.
>brainfog
>Make you dumber
Associated with decreased risk of dementia.
>dehydration
Coffee does not have a net dehydrating effect. Another meme. Coffee drinkers are not more dehydrated than non coffee drinkers. This has been studied.
>smelly breath
True for some people. Usually not a problem if you drink lots of water. Or just give a quick brush.
>high blood pressure
Does transiently increase your bp a bit, but doesn't cause hypertension. In fact: " Prospective studies suggest a protective effect of high coffee intake (4 or more cups per day) against hypertension, mainly in women."

Coffee is overall pretty good for you. Decreased risk of liver disease as well.

Coffee has consistently been linked to improved health in clinical studies for decades.

>improved liver health, reduced liver cancer risk
>improved prostate health, reduced prostate cancer risk and survivability
>improved cardiovascular health, reduced risk of heart disease and stroke
>improved insulin sensitivity, reduced risk of diabetes
>improved brain health, reduced risk of alzheimer's
>coffee consumption is inversely correlated with all-cause mortality

The benefits are not attributed to caffeine, but rather the complex cocktail of polyphenols in coffee.

Coffee is good. Google it if you don't believe me.

I work night shifts and for me coffee is necessary.

I'm on my first nightshift tonight after 4 days off; 6pm - 6am. I woke up at 11am and I went to the gym at 3pm and did some really intense HIIT cardio for an hour. I then visited my girlfriend for an hour and went to work.

Staying awake until 6am without coffee isn't something I could do tonight; but coffee will help me. And tomorrow I'll wake up and drink a coffee to perk me up; and I'll go the gym straight away and work out hard again before work.


tl;dr without coffee I wouldn't be able to fit everything into my life.

>>42233850
>lol coffee reduces risk of cancer because we think this specific cancer is linked to this

Show me a study that isnt hearsay and I will agree with you. One study doesn't prove shit and most can't be replicated. I'm sure you have no problem agreeing with it because you drink coffee therefore its good for you.

>>42233434
You'll offend people less if you refuse by telling them that you are trying to cut your coffee use. People will have kneejerk reactions towards absolutist of any kind because they feel like they are claiming to be better than others.

At a basic level, compare the cause of death and average life span of the study population against a control population that doesn't do whatever you're interested in. Collect this data over many years with many people.

It's how we know cigarettes are bad and hypertension tends to lead to heart disease...

There's no sugar in coffee & it's not particularly acidic so no it doesn't rot your teeth.

Doesn't actually exist, it's a myth perpetuated mostly by fitness forums like this. Don't believe me? Google it. It is not a medical diagnosis.

Wives tale. Average coffee is like ~ 100mg of caffeine in 250-300 mL of water. The diuretic effect of caffeine is offset by the fluid intake.

Not really, but you sure seem to be begging for validation. Your first post is because you thought 40 hours a week was a lot, and then you tried to brag to me about your starting salary which is a pretty typical starting salary.

I agree that coffee in the morning being used as a substitute for proper sleeping habits and a healthy circadian rhythm is wrong and should not be this prevalent.

With that said, as a translator that has to constantly pore over mind-numbingly boring material for hours on end every day, I sometimes drink a cup of espresso at around 4-5pm with a biscuit or a small croissant.
The little boost keeps me going, and it makes for a comfy break after you've had to translate endless diverce papers and a 200 pages anthology of tentacle porn.
