Can coffee make one's voice deeper?

Since I started drinking coffee, my voice has lowered. Is there a correlation? Does anyone know? Google's hopeless.

does it go into your stomach, when you "drink" it?

I suspect it's how your now being a "coffee achiever" is manifesting itself. When I drink lots of coffee I sit and try to pull out my pubes one by one. My groin looks like Barbie's head after stinky little brother gets at it with his scissors. Gimme some coffee.

Thread mutation within three posts. That's got to be a record.

Anyway, just for fun even though I'm all pissed I'll try to give a real answer. Maybe all that hot liquid has cooked your throat. Now it's like a smoked salmon as it has so much more depth after having hot stuff put on it...your voice like.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 11 November 2004 08:47 (twenty years ago)

Yeah. Or perhaps it cleared out some gooey shit that's been lining it for decades.

Does coffee makes you feel more relaxed? That could do it.

(In the sense that my voice can easily drop half an octave when I'm more relaxed and my voice box is thus less constricted.)

I get that marlene deitrich thing happening when I have a cold... But I can't say coffee's ever done it, not that I have noticed.

Milk might tho - dairy can produce phlegm.

Trayce OTM I suspect.

suspect?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 11 November 2004 11:12 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, the dairy thing is OTM. One's voice does change as one matures, though. Even after the "voice change" at puberty, you go through another one later on. It's happening to me now, and I'm dropping down in the alto range. Weh-hoo.

coffee does make my voice a little creaky when i drink it, it sort of makes my whole body shaky so that could have something to do with it.

Only pantied homosexual sodometricians drink their coffee with milk. BLACK OR DIE.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 11 November 2004 12:58 (twenty years ago)

Seconded. Although I know plenty of homosexuals who drink black coffee.

Sugar's useless too. If you want sugar that badly eat fairy floss.

Espresso makes it deeper! WTF??

― Adamdrome Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 04:26 (twenty years ago)

Youre on DRUGS.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 04:29 (twenty years ago)

APPARENTLY CAFFEINE IS A DRUG.

― Adamdrome Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 04:29 (twenty years ago)

No, seriously, normal [e.g. plunger] coffee makes it deeper, but percolated espresso makes it croak like nobody's business.

― Adamdrome Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 04:30 (twenty years ago)

Thats really bizarre! I wonder if it does that to me ... I will pay attention tomorrow when I have one.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 04:31 (twenty years ago)

This is crazy. I should try eating raw coffee trees and see if my larynx leaps out of my throat.

― Adamdrome Crankypants (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 04:32 (twenty years ago)

that could be a topic for that comic strip in the other thread

Hahah I was thinking the exact same thing gem! :D

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 16 November 2004 04:38 (twenty years ago)
