Interesting stuff Douglas! I love Coffee to the point of reverence (I like tea alot as well but nowhere near the almost-fanaticism I feel toward my coffee), and this just makes me like it even more. I am a pretty hooked on the stuff, as it's the first thing I want when I wake up, but I can also go without it and not feel like I'm dying (I've been there before though).
I do agree on overdoing it. Caffeine overdose is NOT fun, and isn't what you'd think... Too much won't just get you more and more wired, it can actually start having the opposite effect in large amounts, making you dizzy, sleepy, and unable to concentrate. After finding this out the bad way, I started brewing my coffee 2 cups at a time, instead of half-pots. |
