    Default Caffeine Consumption And Mood

    Does anyone else become much happier with a drastically elevated mood upon caffeine consumption? I literally never have anxiety and bad effects from caffeine. Am I the only one?

    The only time when I do have a subpar reaction is when consuming coffee, and it's because of the excessive sugar that goes into my coffee. If I just take tea supplements (I'm not a tea drinker), then I bypass those negative effects. I recently just cut myself off from coffee and realized this.

    If I haven't had coffee for a few days and have a cup, I often experience maybe 30 minutes of positive mood (which is unusual for me - I'm a flat-lining type o' girl). I feel social, loving, and happy. It's awesome!

    If I have too much coffee (like, after a coffee enema, which I do sometimes for health and funzies - haha), I definitely have anxiety, and little things irritate me for a few hours afterwards.

    There was a similar thread not to long ago talking in depth about coffee, caffeine, etc. if I find link I'll add it. But yes caffeine has a number of effects including improved mood / wellbeing and increased energy.

    It's also seriously good for the liver (the scientific community has finally reached this official conclusion). So for people recovering from alcoholism or those who have hep c, black coffee a few times a day is a great idea.

    I've found that things that aide in liver (and pancreas) function also help control autoimmune issues too. I take dandelion and burdock root for those reasons. I think there's a link.

    I love coffee, and yes, always feel 'up' and very happy after drinking it.
    It has zero negative effects.
    *It's when I DON'T have coffee that I get Moody and down.
    I'm also not a tea drinker...only iced tea, And only certain brands.

    I work in a coffee shop, and coffee is one of my biggest pleasures so far as diet goes. But although I literally have access to unlimited coffee drinks of all sorts I try limit myself to no more than two servings a day, one cup of regular black in the morning and maybe a few shots of espresso later on in the day depending on when I plan to go to bed. It's a mild upper for me but nothing crazy. However I'm bipolar so my mood is more dependent on what my crazy little brain is doing that week. I've worked eight hour shifts and had 16 shots of espresso with none of the typical shaking, anxious reactions most people would have. I don't do that anymore, though! Meanwhile, the boyfriend can't have it often because it makes him really crabby and angry when he has it every day but he has no problems with tea.

    I do think it's smart to be aware of how much caffeine one is taking in every day, just because caffeine really does stay in your system for eight hours (I saw a really interesting report on the half life of caffeine and how long it takes to break down in your system not too long ago) and it can ruin sleep quality. It's full effects kick in only twenty minutes after consuming it. Another thing most people don't realize is that decaf still has caffeine in it, just not a lot, but it can still cause sleep problems.

    Useful numbers, based on where I work: One shot of espresso = 75mg of caffeine. One grande cup of coffee has 330mg of caffeine. One can of Coke has 34mg of caffeine. One red bull has 80mg (the boost doesn't really come from the caffeine but from the vitamins, when I'm short on sleep but have to be functional I'll allow myself a red bull). In terms of caffeine content in tea, white tea is the least processed and has the least caffeine. Green has a little more, and then black has the most, with about 1/3 the amount as the equivalent sized cup of coffee. These teas all come from the same plant and are classified by how long they are processed which is why white and green tea have more health benefits than black.

    Rooibos does not have caffeine but does provide a lift to some people. I've read varying reports about whether or not yerba mate has caffeine but I do think it does have caffeine and it's my favorite tea for energy and a mood boost. When I drank it on the regular it also gave my complexion a nice glow.

    Yeah, I'm a dork.

    It's so weird how caffeine and just everything affects people so differently. My mom is a caffeine addict so it makes sense I would end up one too.

    I am deeply grateful I alternated my nights of drinking at the club with frequent coffee drinking.

    Thank you all for interesting thread. I'm curious where rareaspasia got her caffeine figures from. Looking on a 12oz can of Diet Coke (fine print on "bottom right"), I see 46mg. Figures for a 16.9 oz bottle of regular coke is 48mg. If I'm in a nude juice bar club within 8 hours of planned bed time, I'll try to remember to switch to bottled water.
    I'm right 96% of the time. I don't sweat the other 5% .......................

    The coke one I found online, I only drink soda a few times a month so I didn't have any handy to check out. Sorry for the mistake! The coffee info is valid through. I have to talk about it with customers every day. Starbucks does have more caffeine in their drip coffee than other places and I get a free pound of beans every week so I never drink anything else at home but I would imagine other brands would vary a lot depending on the type of bean used.

    Thanks for posting this.
    I wonder why coffee never bothers me, yet even a half a can of coke will keep me from falling asleep if I have it late in the afternoon.
    Hmm.
    Maybe because my body is used to huge amounts of coffee, but not used to Coke, because it takes a couple of days to finish even a can.

    I used to need some form of caffeine at work. That turned into 3+ red bulls a shift.

    I quit caffeine and started at a new club today, I had my first cup of coffee in a while. Not only is the club coffee disgusting, but I also feel like shit and made more money before I had the coffee.

    So I think I'm ready to work without it lol

    coffee makes my stomach really upset and the comedown for me is horrible....so now i use energy drinks with no added sugar and a lot of vitamins. i get super shaky, same as coffee, but my stomach stays fine, and im really chatty and upbeat at work for the whole 8 hours. i use yerba mate for day shifts, but if it it doesnt have guarana it doesnt do much for me. ive found kinds that have guarana in it and ones without.

    cheap coffee/Starbucks/dd/etc makes my stomach upset too. I think it may cause problem with stomach cuz too much caffeine or all that mold coffee has on it. Coffee really gets moldy quickly.
    But homemade latte does not cause me any problems, gives me good mood. I drink it with full fat organic milk.
    I tried redbull once, that shit so poisonous left me with that feel that kidneys are twisting, after i was shaky, and not pleasant energy very forceful. Has 0 nut value, gives you energy by stressing your adrenal glands, all vits are syntethic.
    If you cant drink coffee, you can drink green tea,coconut oil with chia seeds give me same energy as coffee.

    rooibos does not have caffeine, but it helps to absorb better iron.
    if you are low on iron you can get a fatigue too. And if you are low on iron you can get pale too, that glow you wrote about def from better absorbation of iron.

    It depends on the drink for me. If I drink home-brewed coffee, I'll be awake and normal. StarBucks, gives me the shits and makes me very hyper. I dont know why. The Sugar I assume? When I have energy drinks I am all over the place. I tend to drink Redbulls at work since it's easier for me to keep a conversation going, compared to when Im tipsy.
