I wish caffeine made me feel anything.

I would need over 24 oz of coffee for anything.

But at that point I'm pushing potentially unsafe levels..

I wish we were taught more about taking drugs. Use caffeine since it's legal, for an example.

"Don't have caffeine 2 days in a row. Ask yourself if you really need the energy or are thirsty/bored. Etc...."

You could apply the same to alcohol to reduce alcoholism.

You might have adhd. I fall into extremely high doses because a high level of stimulant use is needed to get to a “normal” baseline.

Of course tolerance is also a factor. I’ve been reducing my intake, for a while it was well over 1g/day, and that wasn’t really about trying to “feel” anything.

(intentionally NOT quoting the remainder of your post)

The only time I ever felt anything from caffine:

I was working the midnight shift. (At a service industry job, there were no customers so it was dead.)

I took:

  2 caffeine pills
  4 coffee's
  2 cans of coke

It worked. I was very jittery, and had the shakes. But I survived the shift, and by the time the shift was over (7am) the sun was up, and I had a 1 hour drive to get home.

I was also surprised to learn while driving Truck, that some US States outlawed caffeine pills. (Ohio) It might have been available at a drug store though, I only had access to truck stops.
