    The whole ‘giving you energy’ thing is a myth, all it does it make you tired without it.

    Absolute nonsense. I don’t drink coffee or tea, and if I drink a couple cups of coffee I end up with a hundred more tabs in the browser, two programming projects started and abandoned, a hundred notes tagged and reorganized, and a bunch of unnecessary and vaguely mean comments on Reddit and Lemmy. Possibly also a sore leg or shoulder from impromptu exercise.

    You need to take control of your caffeine addiction.

        Oh really? And are the whooshing of blood in my ears and the cranked-up muscle tone also from the placebo effect? And the fact that the shoulder muscles stay jacked up for several days afterwards, pulling my neck forward while the back muscles pull it back?

        Stimulants stimulate the nervous system, who would’ve thought.

        Nope. I can instantly tell when the wife has a Celsius or other “energy” drink because she doesn’t normally. I’ll full on addicted/dependant and it sucks trying to get off it, massive headaches, loss of focus. When she’s on it, kitchens get destroyed and other random things when she goes on a “cleaning spree”.
