I went without coffee for 2 months during boot camp. The day I graduated I went to a restaurant with my family and had a cup of coffee, and it was truly amazing. Couldn’t stop talking/smiling. Didn’t eat anything, just sat there basking in caffeine’s glory. Very powerful. And I’m very addicted.

It's not though. I barely ever have caffeine. This guy's just trying to make his book interesting.

I stoped coffee consumption about 25 years ago because of a bad period in my life, I suffered from anxiety and panic attacs. Coffee exacerbated my anxiety and activated a panic attack, so I stopped drinking coffee. The coffee withdrawals consisted of headache 24h/d during 10 days. I woke up with headache and went do bed with headache. During the 10 days I felt ill, but at day 11 I felt good, no headache anymore and stoping caffeine was helpful for me with the anxiety issue. Since then I like to be awake without needing a coffee. I would never have stopped drinking coffee without the anxiety problem.

Same thing happened to me. I had AFIB, my heart would start racing up to 180 beats per minute. Doc said caffeine wasn't a cause. But I went off caffeine - not because of AFIB but because I had a frequent urination problem. When I went off caffeine for two weeks I had no AFIB, then one day I decided I need caffeine, as soon as I drank - two ounces my AFIB came back. Apparently after I withdrew from caffiene I was even more responsive to it. Studies say that caffeine isn't a trigger for AFIB, but it is for me.

That same night my sleep was utterly ruined, I woke up multiple times in the middle of the night. Very powerful drug. I think I am going to continue this caffeine free lifestyle for the foreseeable future. Decaf if I want to "treat" myself.

I quit smoking using the On! Pouches and quit coffee with decaf, then one day a few months ago, I just said fuck it, any amount of caffeine already effects me negatively and the On! Pouches just became gross after a year, I just quit both of those the same weekend. I had smoked for 20 years before the pouches, which really worked well. Reading the ingredients to both cigs and the pouches(way “safer”) are just too disturbing to write off forever. Couldn’t easily find any pouches without the fake sweeteners. So after the day I quit I had 3-4 weeks of intermittent migraine style headaches just from decaf and 2mg pouches. What made me really quit the pouches was that I started getting a few headaches which NEVER get, so I quit everything the next day. Haven’t had a headache in a few weeks, knock on wood cuz that shit was pretty intense at times. Now just eat a crapload of things like cilantro to get the heavy metals out of the body a much as possible even though NOTHING beats old fashion sweating. 😅

I stopped drinking caffeine 7 years ago due I have some weird side effects. But after being 7 years without a cup of coffee I can tell that nothing really changes, I work on Night Shifts constantly and I can remain awake without any problems and when I’m at morning shifts I can wake up without hesitate and remain in focus during the day. So I think after a couple months you can still have your normal life without coffee.

I remember 35 years ago my grandma used to grind the coffee beans herself in a grinder. It smelled soo good so fresh. She would brew big clay pots and we would drink it first thing in the morning (also through out the day) and a cup before bed. Every- single -day without a miss for an entire year while i lived with her. I was just 10 years old then! No loss of sleep. No energy bursts. No irritability. No nothing.

Very interesting clip. Over the years I realized if you get adequate sleep, coffee in the morning isn't really necessary. It's much more worthwhile to save it for those times you really need a boost in energy, whether it be when you had BAD sleep, gym etc. Problem is so many people drink coffee as part of their routine.

I never needed coffee in the morning, but always needed it in the afternoon after lunch. I feel fine from the time I wake up till lunch with no stimulants. But as soon as you start eating (excluding breakfast for some reason it doesn’t have much of a negative affect) - energy crashes and you want to go to sleep and that’s where you need coffee. The solution is to eat one meal a day in the evening after work. When you don’t eat, your energy is always good and stable throughout the day.

I gave up caffeine for over a year and all that happened was I was slightly less awake a lot of the time. But that first cup after a year was WONDERFUL. For a long time I would wean myself off for a few weeks just to give it that kick again. Just switching to a much lower dose like tea or decaf for a week is almost just as good.

Over a year ago, I tried this. I only did a month, but aye that first coffee hit me like a trip. Forward to now, after having many bouts of trynna quit and come back, I found out something new. Spreading my intake out to where I don’t drink it for 2,3, 4 days helps. Tonight I haven’t had a drink in almost 2 days, and I decided to dilute my energy drink into a jug of water, and Fucking aye it has done more for me than any drink alone recently. I’ve encountered those psychedelic caffeine trips many times. It’s more of a hyper aware feeling than anything.

About half way through the podcast I remembered where I heard his voice. He’s featured in a documentary called Food Inc. very informative.

Got off coffee years ago. Best thing I could do. Just works for me. I still get up early and workout no problem.

I drank coffee for 25 years. 2-4 mugs of strong black daily. I ended up with blown adrenal glands, causing intermittent sleep pattern. Also an inflamed stomach and reflux. I stopped, thinking just until my stomach heals, I got headaches for couple of days and couldnt really think straight. Now i sleep well, my stomach has healed. I had one cup of coffee on a ski trip recently, it felt incredible at the time, euphoric but hours later i got heart palpitations. I'm not going back. I realise i make excuses for coffee just like any addict. Drinking it all the time is not good for you. It's a powerful industry and easy to paint a healthy image when that much money is at stake. You can analyse a positive aspect of coffee and ignore the negatives. Bottom line, you're not meant to be living your life dependent on drugs. You may manage but it will most likely cause problems.

I gave it up years ago and now whenever I do have the odd cup at a social event it gives me crazy heart palpitations and I get pretty aggressive. I also tend to not sleep at all that night either even if I drink it early in the morning. It's kinda frightening just how powerful caffeine is and how many are hooked on it. I don't miss it at all but at the same time it makes life difficult not being into caffeine or alcohol since 99% of adults need these 2 substances in order to function. Not being able to tolerate these substances anymore really destroys your social life as they are so ingrained in our society.

after reading your comment, it's 10 pm now, i am having one...

I quit caffeine mostly out of laziness and stinginess. I didn't have a coffee maker so I couldn't make any, and I didn't want to spend money on a pot or $80 cups at the Starfucks. So I just kinda stopped without even deciding to, it just kinda happened gradually. At least regularly. I take caffeine tablets every now and then, but they don't do much, just a slight boost if I am required to stay up for some reason. But caffeine only twice ever did anything for me like the euphoric feeling, and that was the first and second time I had coffee, both times which I would then go on to get a monster canister about 2 hours after coffee and I felt amazing. I went for a run, I was in a silly mood... but then that never came back. When I deliberately quit for a few months, hoping I'd get it back when I tried it again, I felt nothing. So to me really caffeine is something I use if I am required to stay up to do something, not really for energy or to function properly, just when I have to not be asleep. I honestly I don't even think about it. If someone is offering coffee I'll have some just to have something to drink, but I never seek it out.

Joe acts shocked that people used to give their kids hard cider for breakfast. It’s actually a very recent (like less than 50 years) thing that kids were not allowed to have alcohol at home. I’m 54 and my very strict Catholic parents let my siblings and I have wine with dinner, beer during barbecues, sips of their beers. It really wasn’t considered a big deal at all. We were never allowed coffee. My Mom definitely considered caffeine to be a worse drug than wine or beer.

Interesting take on caffeine but it's very "bourgy" take on history pre-modern era since like 90% of most slaves and workers and servants were not drinking caffeine to do the labour's, nor is it correct to link caffeine to both the enlightenment in 16th century and mideast science revolution in 12th century. There was however the cafe culture of highest elites and intellects where ideas were exchanged, and some anecdotal evidence of huge coffee drinkers like Newton and Voltaire. Still, there are various other factors impacting the proliferation of ideas and booms of productivity that caffeine plays much minor part compared to other factors than as being suggested. Free speech and freedom of and openness to non-religious/scientific/philosophical/literature/arts/history has more to do with the system and rights and education that encourages and promotes different eras of human thought and discovery, as well as the technological tools available such as optics like telescopes and microscopes. Optics, print press, chemicals, food, different paints and arts, metal working, economics, timekeeping, discovery of elements, imperialism and exploration leading to discoveries etc as well as freedom of intellectualism are much more direct causes than caffeine...

Dude I swear when I had my first anxiety and panic attack is because I overdose myself with caffeine 🙃 😅 I will admit tho I'm addicted to caffeine in general but I realize that i don't need it. What I truly need is proper sleep 😴 and alittle exercise.

The key is moderation. One cup of coffee is pretty healthy (but afair you don't need caffeine for this, so decaf might be best option in general), but drinking 4+ is asking for trouble. And even 1 cup can create dependency, so taking several day breaks from time to time to reset this is useful too. There is also genetic factor - part of population is slow caffeine metabolisers and for them drinking more than 2 cups a day can be simply dangerous in terms of immediate effects - hearts and blood pressure problems and all things related to this.

Completely agree. I'd been travelling for 2 months without drinking coffee. Then one day before a tour of the Bourneo jungle, our guide offered if anyone wanted a coffee and I accepted. Immediately I felt a euphoria and warmness overtake me and I couldn't stop smiling. It was an incredible day that I'll never forget.

I absolutely love caffeine, more so in the form of coffee. A nice fresh brewed espresso in the morning is unbeatable. However sometime in my life, I developed social anxiety disorder. I'm now trying to quit drinking coffee. It's very difficult because I truly love everything about espresso but since quitting, (I'm now only on my fourth day) my anxiety is much more controllable, and my body doesn't tremble as much when I get into situations that make me uncomfortable. I have started a new career which requires public speaking and man, has quitting caffeine made a difference.

If you suffer from anxiety, especially social anxiety then I strongly recommend you stay away from caffeine. I know from experience.

I have to start quitting caffeine after a cortisone crisis. It's been hell and I'm only a few days in. But i have noticed I can sleep more now. I had really bad insomnia before so needed more coffee to function during the day. Now I sleep more than 4 hours a night which is amazing for me. I miss coffee but I miss sleep more.

Erdös was also famously an avid amfetamine user, to the point of being a proponent of it within the mathematician community. At one point, he quit it for a period on a bet (several weeks, IIRC), and at the end of it scoffed that the only net result was the field of mathematics suffering from his sluggishness during the period.

When I quit using caffeine I found that I slept much better, I wasn't depressed (caffeine has been shown to be a depressive, once the stimulant effect wears off, and this lasts for as long as caffeine is in your system) paradoxically I had more energy, my thinking was clearer and I wasn't reactive at all. Caffeine changed my personality in significant ways, this remained unknown to me until I quit using it for an extended period of time.

I'm on Swiss decaf now and trying to wean off caffeine. I have green tea sometimes, but I can switch to decaf of that as well. I was drinking WAY too much coffee, often a whole pot of the hot stuff and then a cold carafe of the store coffee sometimes. The makes me aggressive and angry, and I actually think it has a depressive effect in high quantities. I recall that after a few days of just decaf I tried the real stuff again and had too much during the day; it ruined my sleep that whole night.

I had to pause this to make myself a cup of coffee.

I drank coffee twice a day for 2 years and realized my anxiety was through the roof. I would be high for an hour and then uncomfortably jittery all day after. I ended up quitting for 8 months and noticed how evenly-keeled I’d become. The jitters had gone away and I was much more calm and focused with day-to-day tasks. I now only have caffeine on weekends when I’m going out and interacting/networking with people. It’s a great drug, but must be used properly

Nobody should drink coffee. Before you object, think about for a while. The reason you feel good about drink it, feel bad not drink it, is caffeine excites your nervous system, make you forget about tiredness. You see, if you are tired, your body sends you a signal, you are supposed to have some rest, right? That's natural protection system at work. You want to break that mechanism, ignore that signal. That's insanity.

I've never in my life felt the effects of coffee as most people describe. Absolutely no difference. I've tried all kinds of coffees.

I went off caffeine/coffee for 9 months...about 10 years ago, because my cortisol flipped---too much training stress all day as I was a Personal Trainer at the time... and for those of you who don't know what THAT is---it is when you are wide awake at night, and dragging an anchor in the AM, the opposite of what cortisol should do... and honestly after the initial 'shock' --my brain got a calm focus going...I am naturally focused though, but it was more chill and, in a way, good words came to me easier, as I am/was also a writer. Today, I only drink 8 oz in the early morning which is way enough for me... I doubt, unless there is a health concern, ever give it up again. I also have left PT way in the rear view...
