I've never had coffee before

OP, your problem is likely too many carbs in your meals. Are you eating a lot of grains and/or sugar? Cut those out and you'll feel like a million bucks within a couple of weeks. I say couple of weeks because there will be somewhat of a withdrawal period that those "in the know" refer to as "carb flu".

The fact that you think caffiene is a highly addictive substance tells me a lot about your level of education or lack thereof.

Pray tell oh great MD. tell me how caffine is not addictive.

i am sure you can find more addictive substances. that isn't the point though.

Well i was kinda referring to a post above where someone recommended tea instead of coffee because of headaches. I was getting at the fact that it is the caffine that gives the headaches. I probably should have quoted it tho.

I also don't think moderation is really something that is workable for highly addictive substances. And I think its pretty much a settled point that the detrimental effects outweigh the beneficial ones as far as caffine goes.

Actually caffeine dilates blood vessels which can alleviate headaches.

I was referring to headaches that you get when you stop drinking caffine that more than one person on this thread including myself admit to getting.
 
I can't believe nobody suggested Turkish-style coffee.. Ingredients:

1) One HEAPING teaspoon extra-fine grind (turn it into dust so you can't feel individual grains when you rub them hard between your fingers) of a light-medium roast. Pre-ground Barzula in golden-colored bags is actually pretty decent.. I saw it at No Frills and Starsky in the $5-6 range for 250g
2) Sugar to taste [typically corresponding to how much you put in tea]
3) 3/4c of water

-Use a small metal pot with a pouring tip (not absolutely necessary, but makes the job easier - available at Honest Ed's in the $6 range last time I checked) to heat up the mix of sugar and water until it's boiling.
-Put the coffee into the pot and stir it in
-Put it back on the stove until it's just short of boiling over and take off <-- repeat this 2-3 more times
-Pour into small cup and let stand for about 3-4min (so the coffee will settle to the bottom)
-Enjoy coffee as good as it gets, sipping slowly [the coffee is ground so fine that the grains will settle to the bottom and you'll drink all of it in peace]
-If you're superstitious, once you're done drinking, flip the cup bottom up on top of a saucer and let somebody tell your fortune based on the pattern made by the mud running down the wall of the cup :cool:

I've actually been on a ketogenic diet for quite some time now. It has helped.
 
I never got into coffee much, so the once in a blue moon I drink one it helps....a little. Instead, I usually have a western style tea when on the odd occasion I'm trying to stay awake during night shifts.
