    Drink between four and six double shot espressos.

    Yes, I might have a bit of an addiction.

      Funny thing is that caffeine is a dependancy drug. Those espressos aren’t perking you up, they’re just bringing you back to normal.

      I found caffeine surprisingly easy to give up and unlike nicotine, I don’t miss it at all.

        I have 2 Delonghi Magnifica espresso makers, one is at 35,000 shots poured, the other is over 40,000. At this point, I figure my body is 25% caffeine molecules.

        Your statement is true to an extent (like anything), but using caffeine can be effective for improving focus and alertness, even over non-caffeine users.

        I find this guy to present an interesting and somewhat scientific perspective on things. I completely don’t do things the way he suggests, so bad on me. And my intake is way above his suggested amounts, obviously.

        And 100% on the nicotine thing, I’ve stopped drinking coffee for a few months at a time, and I’ve had nothing like the cravings I still get for nicotine a decade+ after I’ve quit. I fucking love smoking, I just don’t do it anymore.
