Is life worth living without coffee?  email this discussion to a friend?

I drink at least a gallon of coffee each day and I feel great! If I ever go for a day without it I get the worst headaches and just don't feel motivated because of it. I sleep o.k. most of the time, about 5 hours a night. I don't really feel that tired without it. I just don't like to be without it.
I love everything about it. The smoky flavor, the acidity, the heat, the flavors bursting out everywhere and the hyperness I gain. If the world fell apart right now I am not sure that I would even use any of my survival gear if it looked like there might not be coffee. Good thing I have a stock pile. How do you feel about the divine bean. Is a gallon too much. Is my heart mad at me?

i'll give you my honest opinion here as you did ask for it.

personally, i think you drink far too much coffee and i think you are addicted to it. if you feel withdrawal symptoms such as headaches then this is serious and i think you should try to cut down on your coffee intake.

i like coffee although i only have 3-4 cups per week, i prefer tea and i could easily live without coffee.


myLot reputation of 81/100. bunnyhoover (226)   ranked 2,608 out of 32,943 in life  3 years ago

while I value your opinion it will only drive me to drink more and more. muahahahahahha. Sometimes I go a couple of days without it and I don't always even get a headache. I've talked to my doctor about it several times in the past and have been told that it's nothing to worry about, as long as I drink plenty of water. I like tea too. Thanks for your honesty.


myLot reputation of 68/100. robert67 (1340)  3 years ago

i always try to be as honest as possible without causing offence.

well, if your doctor says its ok then enjoy.

oh and while you're there i'll have a strong one with one sugar please lol

I drink coffee rather than tea also but I think maybe you should try and cut down a bit. If you go without coffee you shouldn't suffer headaches etc. Have you ever tried decaf coffee? Maybe give it a go even if its just a couple cups a day to try and get rid of some of the caffine you are taking into your body! I would be lost without it as well!!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. mychattime (394)   ranked 751 out of 32,943 in life  3 years ago

Have just read comments from response above, sorry think I got it a bit wrong, my hubby drinks gallons of tea a day and there is far more caffine in tea than coffee. Sorry if I have offended you in any way. Take care


myLot reputation of 81/100. bunnyhoover (226)   ranked 2,608 out of 32,943 in life  3 years ago

I don't think I can be offended. I value your thoughtfulness though. I've done a fair amount of research and have talked to a couple of doctors over the years and I've learned that it really won't hurt you as long as you don't drink so much that you overdose on the caffeine. You are probably right though, I might want to replace some of my coffee with some water or juice.

I stopped drinking coffee about three years ago because it was just messing up my sleeping schedule and to be honest I do not even miss it or having any cravings for coffee now. And to be honest not matter how much you like it I think a gallon is just too much. maybe you are a fit person who exercises regularly and stays healthy but it will get to you someday. I quit drinking coffee by reducing the amount of it everyday. I am not suggesting that you quit but try lowering the amount you drink everyday until it comes to a normal amount, maybe 2 cups a day. And I am sure you don't want your heart hating you :P.

Life without coffeeblink!!! What would that be?? How could you function? What would you do when you first get out of bed? What would you do while you are perusing the internet? What would I wrap my hand around while I am writing???

What an absurd thought!

I live for coffee. I drink it all day long. I have an espresso maker next to my regular coffee pot at home too.


myLot reputation of 81/100. bunnyhoover (226)   ranked 2,608 out of 32,943 in life  3 years ago

espresso and coffee side by side, you must live somewhere in heaven. Probably a penthouse. lucky lucky lucky.


myLot reputation of 96/100. TrvlArrngr (2873)   ranked 1,195 out of 32,943 in life  3 years ago

LOL. It's just a regular house. I got the espresso maker on ebay for about 45 dollars. I am addicted.

I drink coffee every morning. I usaully wake up with my stomach aching, up until i have my first cup. Somtimes i drink it all day long.
If i wake up and im out of coffee, i am a miserable b*st*rd for about 2 or 3 hours. Its the same way with me and cigarettes.
I've heard they were both bad for my health, but its bad for anyone else health to be around me without the combination of the two, let alone out out both of them together.
lol, maybe somday i will be able to kick both of the habits, but until then, i need my coffee.
