I think I’m one of these weird fuckers that caffeine has an opposite effect on as opposed to most people. The only reasons I really drink it now are a) it’s become a habit b) without it I get massive headaches in the afternoon so I drink it to feel normal c) I drank alcohol and did drugs every day for years. I quit everything, including smoking and Copenhagen and this is all I have left d) I like the taste.
I never really felt like I was the type, even when I started drinking it at 17 when I was working at Starbucks in high school, that got a “caffeine jolt”. When they train you there, you have to make every fucking drink they have so you know what to put in them. Over the course of three days (a total of 12 scheduled hours) I had finished a small size of every single drink on the menu. They didn’t have all the different shit they do now back then, but I had about a dozen frappuccinos, every type of mocha, latte, cappuccino, iced coffee, iced tea and coffee there. People were fucking shocked that I wasn’t bouncing all over the place. That’s when the store record for shots of espresso in 30 min. was brought up.
Just recently I tried those Red Lines for the first time ever. My friend said you aren’t supposed to drink more than half at a time. I laughed and slammed 3 to my face in 5 minutes. Half an hour later I was taking a nap on the couch. And I routinely drink coffee at night and fall asleep at a normal time.
I never really fucked with barbituates back in the day, but something tells me that I probably would have zero tolerance for that stuff, as some sort of countermeasure for my high tolerance of caffeine.[/quote]
Clearly you have a lack of adenosine receptors. It could be from years of drug abuse, although there is little scientific evidence to back this up, or it could be that you are a freak. Your posting history here suggests that you are a freak.

Stay away from Kopi Luwak everyone, it’s monkey shit, literally. Apparently the droppings of monkeys in Indonesia are prized by some people. [/quote]
My wife had an Indonesian co-worker who traveled “back home” regularly. She brought us small bags of Kopi Luwak on a few occasions. Although it was a light roast, it was very tasty - earthy, no bitterness.
The beans are picked out of the civet’s poop, given a good wash and then roasted. We brewed it in a french press. Mmmm, mmmm, good. If you ever have the opportunity, try it.

^^I’m sorry austin_bicep but with how this thread has progressed to come in on page 7 with a response like that reminds me of Ralph Wiggum saying that his cat’s breath smells like cat food in tat one episode.
