It depends on how much caffeine you take. I usually go without it when there's no need to keep me awake. I also drink it with cream and sweetener, so I never drink too much caffeine.

I feel almost lucky to have ADHD because it gives me me a very high resistance to caffeine.

I'll never want to be addicted to coffee so I'll make sure I never take it.

Supressing sleep molecules can't be good

I might have to do this. I don't think I've gone more than 48 hours without coffee in years.

Oh it is. I've recently managed to kick my addiction to energy drinks, but I'm not getting rid of coffee any time soon...

I literally cannot stop drinking coffee. My brain will go into shock. That's why Club Mate is my best friend.

Is it just the caffeine? Because there's lots of alternatives to get caffeine

Why I never drank coffee in the first place.

When I decided to quit coffee, I reduced coffee consumption by 1/2 every other day. Worked ok for me.

chamikavi.bsky.social•19 days ago

didn't know this was a thing.

sometimes i drink 10 cups of coffee/tea a day,
sometimes i don't drink tea or coffee for weeks.

I never noticed anything different.

I go a day without and I am dead. Headache, suffering, that withdrawal is horrible. But the coffee taste seems to be worth it.

I once went without coffee (& tea) for lent, and the worst thing about it it really crimped my drink options.

I considered juice to be too calorific for a day-by-day drink, so I was left with only water.

Herbal teas! Or yogurt mixed with water and salt (aka something akin to ayran). Lemon water, too

Slow down to a coffee a day, then switch to tea. After that you can do a month without coffee no sweat.
