Coffee doesn’t make me tired, it makes me uncomfortable and hurts my chest.

Idk you ever see a frog? Gotta be like top 5 moments every time >

I see frogs ALL the time! lol >

What coffee do you people drink!? The first time I tried it I hated it and still do to this day. >

It’s because people are addicted, caffeine is a drug just like any other >

It's not that. You can get caffeine from other sources. I switched to energy drinks for a week and I feel intense cravings for coffee despite coffee having a lower caffeine content. >

Do you get the same thing from decaf? >

I’m not the guy you asked, but yes, I enjoy the first sip of decaf just as much. It’s the taste and warmth that does it >

Unless you hate coffee with the fiery rage of a thousand burning suns. >

There's nothing better in this world than the first sip of an ice cold beer after a long day. >

agreed >

I’ve always hated coffee, it tastes bad no matter how much sugar and cream you put in it and it’s caffeine content is so low that I would need to torture myself by drinking a ton just to have a little more energy.
So maybe it’s great for you. But coffee is absolute trash imo. >

Low caffeine content? Compared to what? >

On average a medium roast coffee has about 100-120 mg of caffeine per cup (the measurement). People usually drink 2-3 cups worth of coffee, so around 200-300 or 240-360 mg of caffeine. While that may seem high to many other people, I have ADHD and one of my symptoms is a hormone tolerance. Meaning that I need a lot more hormones to actually have an effect. Coffee (and caffeine in general) work by making your brain release hormones, making it have little to no effect on me unless in excessive doses. I only experience the side effects that caffeine has directly on the body, so for me to have any benefit from coffee, I would need to drink enough to have explosive diarrhea for days. >

Alright. I also have ADHD and love my coffee. Caffeine mainly promotes wakefulness by binding to adenosine receptors in the brain to block tiredness. Most neurotransmitters (norepinephrine and dopamine) affected by ADHD tend to involve the reward center so your comment left me confused. I’ve also always been confused by the ADHD sentiment, “coffee/caffeine just makes me tired”
