Eventually, coffee moves from a drink that gets you going to an emotional support drink.

    More expresso, less depresso.

      Narcotics are opioids or other downers.

      Caffeine is obviously psychoactive but is not a narcotic.

        As your article mentions, there is no single legal definition of “narcotic”. That article even mentions multiple non-sedative illicit substances as being “narcotics”, such as cocaine, cannabis, etc.

    99.999% of caffeine users stop before the drink that will cure all their mental illnesses forever and ever and ever.

    Were I was raised there wasn’t a taboo over coffee as a “drink for adults” (something that I learned from American movies and found quite funny), when I was a kid I’d drink coffee with milk because I didn’t care much about coffee, but nobody would bat an eye I did… I also never understood that thing about people drinking coffee and getting energized, from what I learned the American-style coffee has about half the caffeine of the regular coffees we have here (Brazil), and not rarely I have coffee with bread or cookies before bed (if I didn’t have dinner and I’m feeling too lazy to make something), it doesn’t affect my sleep the least and I never felt the least energized with coffee. I always thought this thing about caffeine getting you high was a joke from movies, but people in real life do seem to claim it :S
    (well, I do remember teens smoking oregano thinking it was pot and claiming to be high as well…)

    ps: Nope, I’m not addicted to coffee. The regular breakfast here is coffee with bread and butter, but most of times I don’t have breakfast before leaving so I don’t drink any coffee the whole day, and I go weeks without drinking it. If it isn’t to have a coffee with bread, cookies or biscuits, I don’t have coffee at all.

      There’s a common myth over here that coffee can stunt a child’s growth. A myth I only today learned was false after researching it for this comment.

      I think that’s just movies - kids just wouldn’t like coffee because it’s bitter. No one I’ve known has said kids can’t have coffee, just recognize they won’t like it.

      Hell, my father let me tast his coffee and beer when I was 5-ish because I was curious. I disliked the coffee completely, but the beer had something…

      I stumbled on liking it in my 20’s.

      I also always see people saying that having a coffee or a smoke helps them take a shit in the morning, because they wake up, have a coffee and cigarette and they take a shit… well, I wake up, don’t do either, and after 5-10min I take a shit too…

    You mean it moves to an addiction?

    • TomMasz@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I can quit it anytime I want to suffer caffeine withdrawal headaches.

    Good shower thought

    And, following that, a laxative

    I’m not going to get into the semantics of the simple equation of drink coffee ‘feel good’

    source
  • RyanDownyJr@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I had a similar thought to this the other day. For nearly my entire adulthood working, something around 15 years, not a single day has passed where I have explicitly recall NOT having coffee.

    Addiction is real. 😬

    Anything you regularly enjoy becomes an emotional support.

    Interestingly, many skip that first step. Iirc, it’s about 30% who don’t get more awake but rather start to relax under caffeine. About the same % who also need to poop right after, but not the same people. Lol

    I really hope I can avoid that, haven’t fallen into it yet.

    I very rarely drink coffee. I figure if it’s just going to get to the point I need it just to function normally then I might as well not start. I’m already a morning person anyway.

    The exception is when I take exams. Coffee helps with the ADHD. I’ll usually drink it black since it’s not the drink I’m after it’s the caffeine.
