how many coffees do you need to work?

i was wondering how common it is for people to only be able
to work when under the influence of lord caffeine.

like maybe there's a section of the population who don't
want to accept they have ADHD and self-medicate by drinking
shiteloads of coffees.

anyway, i think i might be one of those people. perhaps
though it's a conditioning thing.

what do you do for work? I drink 3-4 thick moka coffee
during the day, 17 looks like your work is drinking coffee

sounds right then, don't forget to insert a coffee machine
in your rocket designs

it's the first thing i put in. in fact i usually think of
them more as space coffee machines

17 triple espresso coffees sounds a bit unlikely

when I give up caffeine I got real tired, i slept for near
2 days and watched tv in bed for the times i was awake. (
errg) , but on the otherside afterward , I forgot it quite
quickly. If you get a blender and blend up grapefruit
oranges and green leaves of some type you'll get a natural
buzz that kicks lord caffine up the butt. and it will extend
your healthy life for many years too.

Yes. People with adhd have a higher resting state, and the
stimulants help bring them closer to being 'normal'. I
sometimes use caffeine to help me sleep.

Caffeine can't help after energy stores are depleted, so
it's good to lay off for awhile and gain usable energy
through sleep, then boost with caffeine. THEN, it works
well. Tons of coffee inadvertently makes one tired. Laying
off for a few days makes a huge difference.

I used to drink around 10 cups a day (60+ oz), and I used to
put instant coffee into my brewed coffee. I'm now quite
minimal with coffee and AT MOST drink 30 oz a day, rarely.

Ma huang (ephedra) on the other hand... that shit is quite
serious. I've blacked out taking tons of ephedra pills
before they were banned, but it also used to help me work on
music for 16 hours straight and stay up for a few days.
Just a bit of that and hair stands on end and body is filled
with exhilaration and enthusiasm. Shit makes coffee its
bitch.

that "ephedra" shit sounds awesome. might try me some!

what could possibly go wrong with a pill that makes you lose
weight and increases your productivity 1000%?

maybe one, if i am short on rest. i try not to give in to
the addictiveness(sp?) of caffeine. if i need energy for
several hours, i will go for a 5 hour energy. if i am
hungover, i will go for a rockstar recovery, so as to
hydrate, cuz that is important. mainly tho, i just try and
use sheer willpower to get through a little slump during a
shift.
