I like how he didn’t draw the cocaine and just sprinkled some on the board.

I got a caffeine habit around my sophomore year of college. I usually drink 2 cups of coffee a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. As a busy college student, coffee really helps power me through the day. Oddly enough, I’ve noticed that when the caffeine from my coffee starts kicking in, it also seems to improve my mood and my sociability. It makes me feel more talkative. Anyone else have this?

coffee doesn't really give me to much of an effect
sometimes none at all
the taste is fucking spectacular tho

[neverknew]

So I drank coffee at Starbucks with my empty stomach and I was having anxiety attacks 4 hours after that. Even 24hrs later.

I drink coffee every day because I love the taste. But I've never felt more awake or less awake by it. Weird!

[ikanderson]

A few years back, I would always drink caffeinated soda, and I was really feeling the effects. One effect that overwhelmed all was anxiety. I constantly felt anxious. I decided enough is enough, and I went cold turkey. I cheated here and there, but eventually I quit. It is amazing how much better I feel now.

[jessicaflores]

Coffee gives me anxiety but sometimes I can't resist the taste yet regret consuming it immediately when I start being emotional

[isaacalinda]

Coffee makes me hyper and it feels absolutely amazing.

[audioa]

Coffee actually relaxes me rather than making me hyper.

[daisiesdreams]

coffe makes me happy when i'm sad, so that's why i drink coffe all the time

[cristianoronaldog.o.a.t]

I never drank coffee in my life.. what am I doing here?

[furryballsploppedmenacingl]

I remember going to a friends house one night after work, and his brother and I were really into coke heavy at the time and I had drank the large cans of redbull before going into work, I made the mistake of doing about a gram and a half with them and we stayed up all night playing super smash bros melee till 5 a.m. and I was pacing back and forth around his living room because it felt like my heart was about to come out of my asshole. Needless to say I never touched a redbull again

[dominikfrancis]

It is crazy how happy and alert I get on coffee, a double espresso in the morning and I feel genuinely ecstatic, just so happy about everything, I wish everybody could feel like this after drinking coffee. Mixing coffee with milk and sugar minimizes the effects so if you want to feel so awake and alert, have one double espresso every day, no more otherwise you will get too addicted and the effects wont last. I have been having one double espresso everyday for about three years and I havent build up any resistance to its effects.

The first time I drank coffee, I had slept four hours, so I asked my mom to make me some (since I didn't know how to do it myself). She gave an entire mug, and when she wasn't there, I drank almost the entire thing, thinking that even that wouldn't be enough to keep me awake all day.
Boy, was I wrong. My head was buzzing and my heart was beating what seemed to be way too fast almost the entire day. I swear to God, I could read minds, and see through walls or some shit. It was terrifying, but I felt stupidly cheerful the entire day. I had never been more awake in my entire life.
I later found out that after I'd left, my mom came back and saw the almost empty cup and was like "oh, shit!" Apparently she hadn't expected me to have more than a few sips. I've asked her why she'd given me a regular-sized cup and assumed that I'd know enough to not drink the whole thing, but I've never gotten a straight answer.

growing up is when you start taking coffee black and sugarless....who else takes it the same way?

[olly_evans]

Ahhh coffee, or as I like to call it 'liquid anxiety'
