I know how you feel, I don't suffer from a lot of anxiety usually but I was on some medication for a while that had increased anxiety as a possible side effect, one morning I drank three cups of coffee and I went completely nuts and called my mom and started crying because I was so fucking wired, which is extremely out of character, I hadn't cried in 5 years.

I am capable of drinking a lot of ocffee in one sitting. On average I drink at least two cups a day.

I went to a coffee festival over the course of two days a while ago, and spent the whole day consuming different coffee tasters. If an espresso is one "unit", I had about 9-10 on the first day and 7-8 on the second. I was bouncing off the walls at the end of the first day, and at the end of the second I was exhausted and shaking. It felt like someone had put electricity in the back of my head. It was highly unpleasant.

you'd be surprised... especially with the way most people regularly eat. every time you eat junk food your digestive bacteria become weaker. most people have trouble digesting beans because they don't eat them regularly.

fuck coffee though, just makes me tired later on. once drank two cups of coffee instead of one, and had a terrible headache. not gonna consume something regularly that does that.

Food with spices you're not used to eating will give you an upset stomach most of the time, but spicy food in general won't. That's why Indian food and stuff like that has the toilet jokes, because they use spices people don't eat regularly, but if you eat it often then it wont affect your stomach. It's the same with coffee, people who drink it everyday won't have a problem, but it's a well known fact that if you're not used to drinking it it will give you mad shits.

I need at least four cups of coffee to get through my day.

I have a bottle of caffeine pills in my bag, my car, and my locker at work.

Coffee and spicy food have different effects, coffee's caffeine will cause microspasms in your digestive tract which can get your bowel moving, while spicy foods, for some people, can cause inflamation of surface tissue in various stretches along the digestive tract, impairing absorption of both nutrients and moisture. As people get older, and digestion tends to need a little more active attention, a morning coffee is a common ritual precisely because it aids in relieving ones bowels.

I kind of took posts about Taco Bell shits as more satirical; if people are serious, I share your confusion as to why anyone affected that way would go back. Unless, as with coffee, people are using it precisely to help clear their digestive tract.

As drinks, coffee is usually a lot stronger than tea or soda (except for the very boosted ones). There's more caffeine per weight in tea leaves than coffee beans, but you use far less of them per cup.

(I've cut down; usually only have one per day now, down from a peak of 8 or 9.)

I recently heard that there are people who don't clean their coffee mugs. They will let lingering coffee residue harden and crust around the base of the mug as they feel it makes the coffee taste better.
