Go to your kitchen, grab any chocolate and read the content. Tell me how much sugar it consists of.

coffee is a meme drug anyway I literally never feel anything from it

Cocoa beans != chocolate. Of course chocolate has sugar in it, you dumb shit.

Oh, and this stuff goes great with black coffee.

The Romans used lead acetate as a sweetener. No wonder their brains were addled, what with that as well as the lead in the water pipes.

By being the kind of miserable autistic manlets who enjoys going to the arena to watch untried "criminals" suffer gruesome, violent deaths.

Best health choice I ever made. Now instead of coffee every morning I have a smoothie which is orange-juice based and includes ginger, flax seeds, spinach,a random assortment of fruit, a scoop of unsweetened yogurt for protein, plus a superfood packet which has me starting every day with a burst of healthy nutrients rather than a shitload of caffeine and sugar. Not only do I feel great and have more energy throughout the day (without a crash) but the additional fiber in my diet makes shitting a literal pleasure.

First of all, what kind of fucking pleb puts sugar in his coffee? Has /pol/ convinced you taking your coffee black will somehow make you less of a man?

Second of all, orange juice is pretty much sugar water fortified with vitamin C.

You went from a drink which ought to have no sugar in it if you have any sort of taste, to sugar-filled hippy feed.

Primarily they got it from the east, so while it was enjoyed in Rome, it was probably mostly limited to Greece, Egypt, and Anatolia.

Well like a huge portion of the coffee drinking world I added sugar to mine because I'm not a filthy black coffee drinking mongoloid who hates flavor. Switching to the healthier option significantly cut down on my sugar intake and the sugars I was getting were from nutritious sources.

>Posca was a popular drink in ancient Rome and Greece, made by mixing sour wine or vinegar with water and flavouring herbs. It originated in Greece as a medicinal mixture but became an everyday drink for the Roman army and the lower classes from around the 2nd century BC, continuing to be used throughout Roman history and into the Byzantine period. It was not usually drunk by the upper classes and was associated with the peasants. It was made by reusing wine spoiled by faulty storage and had important dietary advantages. As well as being a source of liquid, it provided calories and was an antiscorbutic, helping to prevent scurvy by providing vitamin C. Its acidity killed harmful bacteria and the flavouring helped to overcome the bad taste of local water supplies.[1]

>coffee is a meme drug anyway I literally never feel anything from it

Coffee is expensive, makes me anxious, and makes me shit too much.

Green tea is cheap, has no calories, and has just as much caffeine as coffee (but without the anxiety).

>>2174485
>to watch untried "criminals" suffer gruesome, violent deaths.

you do know gladiatorial combat wasn't meant to be lethal right?

gladiators were expensive. Fights were more like boxing, with some getting fucked up every so often being an unfortunate accident.

also i'm always some level of stressed and restless so coffee is alright for me.

I meant the scene in the TV series in which Octavia is shown smoking it. No one smoked cannabis until after the discovery of tobacco in the Americas. Scythian smoke tents and Chinese incense burners don't count.
If they did use it it was probably through the Indian method of Bhang, as a cooking spice, or in medicinal usage.

>>2174757

you need more wine, beer, fish and TRVE ROMAN BREAD for that.

"Here is a parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised. In it are rivers of water, incorruptible; rivers of milk of which the taste never changes; rivers of wine, delicious to those who drink; and rivers of honey, pure and clear. In it there are for them all kinds of fruits and forgiveness from their Lord [Can those in such bliss] be compared to such as will dwell forever in the Fire and be given boiling water to drink that will cut up their bowels?"
[Muhammad, 47: 15]

>Cannabis smoking was common in the Middle East before the arrival of tobacco, and was early on a common social activity that centered around the type of water pipe called a hookah. Smoking, especially after the introduction of tobacco, was an essential component of Muslim society and culture and became integrated with important traditions such as weddings, funerals and was expressed in architecture, clothing, literature and poetry.[6]

All you are doing is adding more sugars, simple and complex sugars into your breakfast. Even without coffee as a stimulant, you still had enough sugar to have energy and the complex sugars just take longer to break down, making you feel energetic for longer.

Found the wikipedia article where you pasted that from. Literally one sentence in the book's introduction before going on to talk about the earliest reference to tobacco. Still no conclusive evidence of Romans smoking it.

Aztecs and Maya where pretty damned advanced in context, and if they where given the time to adjust to europeans coming we would probably have an Aztec and a Maya nation (as long as the Aztec adopted a writing system that is, Mayans already had that)

They all had a complex government
Infrastructure to a point
Building techniques good enough to make giant stone structures
Agricultural techniques large enough to sustain huge cities
And in the mayas case writing
