I drank 4 strong cups in a row this morning and I am going nuts. I'm tense and itchy and irritable and crazy. This needs to stop!!!!!!!! HOW TO?

For me, too much coffee turns on itself and makes me fall asleep -- I think this is mostly a self-defence tactic when the agitation gets overwhelming and my brain shuts down completely. At the office where napping = discourged? Go for a jog around the block a few times, then start drinking water. Keep drinking. Pee. Have another glass. Pee again. Move your computer into the men's room and drink some more. Etc.

smoking a bowl while that caffinated would make me SOOOO paranoid.

I have tried...some of the things on this thread. They have not yet stopped me from wanting to to crawl out of my skin and lick the sidewalk.

induce vomitting

(really works)

― nein Socken (nein Socken), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

What I am thinking right now is "sauna".

― F.R.I.E.N.D. (nordicskilla), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:24 (twenty years ago)

A killing spree IN a sauna.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

i used to drink way too much coffee and i would literally have to vomit. i'm telling you it works to get rid of the insanity and convulsions.
be practical: you can run to the toilet and barf. can you run to the spa and have a nice sauna? no.

― nein Socken (nein Socken), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:28 (twenty years ago)

try reading something educational. oh, turn on NPR!

Tut, tut, young man. Any physician can tell you that all you need is a good bleeding.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:29 (twenty years ago)

eating raw garlic is an easy and fast way to induce vomitting.

how far are you from a navajo sweat lodge?

Also, from what I've read upthread, Adam, I think you need to distance yourself from your work a little. It's good to be professional but when you identify with your work so much that you blur the line between your individuality and your employment generally, it often leads to things like caffeine overdoses and the like.

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 31 October 2005 21:57 (twenty years ago)

dude's a barrista? this changes everything.

― nein Socken (nein Socken), Monday, 31 October 2005 22:12 (twenty years ago)

No. He said, "I am work, Ian".

― M. White (Miguelito), Monday, 31 October 2005 22:14 (twenty years ago)

i see. he's not a barrista, he's just NO NONSENSE.

FRIEND, you need hot, strong coffee, and lots of it.

Once you drink fifty-eight cups, the world takes on an unearthly clarity

BOOZE. It kills the edge off. Go have a lunchtime pint.

Some warm milk?

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Monday, 31 October 2005 23:16 (twenty years ago)

I really have no clue. i can't deal well with coffee, myself.

Me either D, I can usually only have one strong coffee in the morning and thats it. Even tea any later than late afternoon can keep me awake.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 31 October 2005 23:18 (twenty years ago)

I took a chance by putting milk that expired yesterday in my coffee. Bad idea. Some people can go a few days past the date, BUT NOT ME.
