It happened by accident when I ran out of coffee about 6 weeks ago but, even now, if I get the slightest whiff I'm craving the stuff.
Trying not to go back because it gave me mental headaches when I quit but am genuinely amazed at the pull of the stuff.

:chugs on third cup of the day: Next time you want to recreate that feeling of immense stress related migraine headache just go a day without the stuff. |

:chugs on third cup of the day: Next time you want to recreate that feeling of immense stress related migraine headache just go a day without the stuff. That was yesterday, two industrial pain killers inherited from the Mrs' uncle sorted that out. It's not healthy, but it's keeping me going until the baby sleeps. |

I used to drink loads of strong filter coffee in the days before there were about a thousand different stylees. It was get, up, stick on coffee, light fag and so to give up smoking the coffee had to go too. Since then I still enjoy the odd cup but it sometimes gives me the shakes or makes me feel sick.

I'm just over a week without caffeine, and although I was a rageAholic for 3 days with headaches and fatigue I now feel a lot calmer generally.
I could drink one but wouldn't want the side effects again.

I almost can't imagine starting the day without at least five cups of black coffee.

The way coffee raises my blood pressure is when I have to stand in a queue in Costa/Starbucks/Nero etc and wait while four geeks/nerds order 4 cappuccinos - that always brings out my caffeine-range (my probation officer is helping me deal with it)

If you drink enough coffee all you can see is movement (like a leopard). This is inconvenient in a room full of inanimate objects.

I have never drunk a cup of coffee in my life. I don't believe in polluting my body.

I'm now tempted to try and follow Soph's lead, been having blinding headaches for the last few days.
Any tips on a decent drink to replace? Hate water and decaf is like licking out your sister.

I was always a tea man, but in recent years a decent cup of coffee has become really enjoyable. The strong stuff does leave me feeling a bit 'wired' but all in moderation eh?

I'm not completely sure I'd recommend it - it ain't the caffeine that's stopping you from sleeping lad. I'm just on water personally. Herbal teas with Ginseng in (I rarely have Blackcurrant, Vanilla and Ginseng) give a little lift - but it ay caffeine. Concentration improves eventually but first thing in the morning is... less frenetic. |

Would throttling a random accountant be okay? That would help no end.

Talking about coffee, has anyone seen these Café Zero things for sale in the UK? Had them in Portugal and they were very nice, basically chilled coffee, bit like a milkshake. Only 220 kcal each   |

I've been drinking cold coffee since before it was fashionable to do so. So have I. I do, on rare occasions, have busy periods of work where I simply forget to drink my mug of coffee then neck it cold. Even Monster energy drinks do a coffee flavoured one now. Iced coffee is very nice in most forms tbh. |
