I'm an incredibly heavy Coke drinker with milk nearly being the only other fluid I drink. Occasionally I switch it up, but like, I hate the taste of water so I have a real problem drinking it. "More water" is always on my list of changes to make, but I can never stick with it for more than a couple days at best.

I know people like that, some of them have been amazing athletes too to my surprise. I initially read that as "I drink coke with milk.".. And thought... "I wonder if that's good? I should try it" hahaha
It's a Drug...Definitely chocolate pudding and greasy foods with my coffee.
So it's a source of dopamine in one's lifestyle.
If you remove this, for most people, they'll put something else in there in its place..
If that replacement is xercise, then hurray, but if its chocolate pudding, or more western-greasy-foods in general, then TECHNICALLY, quitting the coffee would only accelerate the common affluence diseases.
Fohat, how much coffee do you drink when you do?
I am an older guy and this was not uncommon before cans replaced bottles. I never heard a rationale like what you described, but it makes sense. We did it where vending machines dispensed bottled Cokes and small plastic envelopes of peanuts in the same area.

A fellow I knew used to put salty prunes in his Mickey's, but I don't think that was whatsoever work related
When I was 8, i did twizzler, milk, coke, orange soda, sugar, hotdog, m&ms..
It made sense at the time.. first experience with blender..

Have you tried combining the two in one glass?
Apparently that's a thing, and some say it's really nice, but I've never bother to try mixing them.

Diluted Coke ?
I have heard of cooking Rice with cocacola.. but not drinking diluted coke.

Rice with coke, for what reason?
It was then that I decided to switch to tea and taper the amount of caffeine I take in. The latter approach was worlds more successful than the cold turkey.

I've reset my caffeine tolerance, and since have only wanted coffee every 3-4 days so far and its usually to augment an activity, like gaming or something creative.
I have been sleeping more which is definitely a plus, as well as the hydration from not having a diarrhetic at all hours.
My mood is certainly more stable? Less highs, less lows. More mild hum.
So net positive, however I'm curious how I'll manage the tolerance when I get back into lifting/exercising regularly. Does this mean migraines every so many weeks? hmm
Consciousness/dopamine manipulation is entertaining at the very least and in numerous ways beneficial.
Isn't coffee vegan? Or are you straightedge too?xxx

The use of our dopa-response system for _Entertainment Purposes_ , is a case of clever hijacking.
The natural routine of that subsystem is meant to move biological life forward in General terms.
But, at some point, prefrontal cortex development lead to revelations of the systems operational shortcomings.
That knowledge properly utilized leads to asceticism and focus.
Used improperly, we end up with hedonism and listlessness.
But because this system is in the mid-brain, it has priority and can powerfully de-tune the prefrontal.
When a person feels a dopa-high, he doesn't want to think further, everything feels all right, and that whatever needs to be done can be done TOMORROW.
This feedback loop can be mild, in the case of tobacco/coffee/candy/chocolate/sex, or Severe Ritalin/marajuana/cocaine/heroin/meth/fentanyl
Addicts aren't fundamentally bad people, they are however notoriously unreliable for all collaborations outside of doing more drugs.
In the end.. everyone has to decide for themselves.. it's at least important to recognize ones actions for what they are.. instead of succumbing to retro-justifications by consequence..
George didn't leave his wife, because she became a b*tch, she was always a b*tch, but now she's also become phat and unattractive. George decided he wants a hotter partner, regardless of actual degrees of b*tchiness. George only utilized her bad-attitude as justification, because it would be socially-unbecoming to end relationships for more superficial reasons..

You've crossed the threshold.
It's the same with heroin, a little makes you feel great, alot makes you node off, too much stops your heart and breathing.

That escalated quickly
I don’t know about the last guy but I’ve been thinking about easing off of the coffee as of late but I also work really weird hours. Has anyone ever used the adrenal gland supplements that you can take while also scaling back coffee? I did once and it really helped. There were still headaches but a lot of the non-stop fatigue was reeled back.

It's unpleasant, but relative to goin' to wurk earyday, it's a small battle..
Caffeine addiction rides out.. Unlike heroin, which is ~permanent damage..
Yeah. You’re just frazzling your adrenal glands to the point that they’re not really able to do anything for you.

I bought a "weight-loss drink" at the gym this morning because I couldn't stay awake and ****ing hell that woke me up. I looked it up later and that tiny 12oz can had over 200mg of caffeine. :-X
I knew it had a lot of caffeine but I was expecting it to have much less - 60-80mg like most other energy drinks. I have no guilt because I'm not addicted to the caffeine, I only drink it when I really need it now instead of drinking 3-4 sodas daily for no reason.
What's the big deal? It sound delicious, like a melted ice-cream Coke float! Also, you should try sodapop with condensed milk--almost as good as a float.I'm an incredibly heavy Coke drinker with milk nearly being the only other fluid I drink.

Dilution usually refers to mixing with water. This is mixing Coke with milk. Technically either could be said to have been diluted, but really it's just a Code/milk mixture.
I like to slowly wean off until I'm drinking maybe just a cup of coffee each day. I know it's bad when I get headaches on days I don't drink any caffeine, time to start weaning thenI've never gotten caffeine headaches (those must suck) but my motivation drops and I get cranky when I'm jonezin' for a cup. I'm a 2-3 caffeine drink per day kinda guy...usually a mix of coffee and tea, depending on what's available. I can go a few days without caffeine as long as I stay physically and mentally active. otherwise, bombs away!
Finally went through with the caffiene detox, I'm on week 3 of non-dependence. First week was no caffeine input at all, second I introduced kombucha/tea, and this week I've reversed the habit in that I drink caffeine on weekends for fun.
First couple days were hell, but after that it was just willpower to overcome the physical habit. Really enjoying it so far and how I feel. Although I miss how good coffee tastes. I think the exercise in willpower made it easier to fast for me as well.

Please do your research ,
Caffeine , Cigarettes , Alcohol, all raise dopamine to ~200% baseline level.
They are equivalent in terms of -the High- and addictive potential.
Increased dopamine is a good thing. Eating food, vitamins, human contact, music, and being in the sun all raise dopamine levels as well. Should we all sit in dark rooms with the shades drawn and ear muffs on humming loudly? The same could be said for any of those things. You get a massage, your dopamine levels increase, you feel good. So now you are addicted to massages? Is that how it works?

I have done it a couple of times over the years, and gone back after half a year or so. There is considerable research that finds little negative consequence from reasonable use. An informative and amusing personal account is found in this interesting book :

Caffeine has significant impact on sleep quality. it reduces critical cycles of various sleep stages.
essentially, a long term coffee drinker is aging their brains approximately 10-15 years.
Matt Walker, a sleep scientist who researches this has a great book on sleep, "Why we sleep"
I had a caffeine addiction. It most certainly is just like any other drug. You build a dependency on it, build tolerance and need more and more of it. I've drank at least 1 can of Dr Pepper a day every single day of my life since I started highschool, and it's only now in my sophomore year of college that I'm kicking the habit. I was going through a 12 pack of Dr Pepper in half a week, which used to be just a 12 pack in a week, which used to be a can or two per day.Finally went through with the caffiene detox, I'm on week 3 of non-dependence.
