A company doctor once asked me how much coffee I drank per day.
I said about 1 sometimes even 2.
“Good, good” he said. Starts saying that the max amount is 2 cups a day. It is bad to drink more than that because of the caffeine, or else your body will make too much adrenaline which in that case causes too much pressure on your muscles.
I quietly stared at him for a good 20 seconds and said: “cups? No no, I mean pots. I drink 1 to 2 pots a day…”
Well, his head almost exploded when he heard that.
I’m 37 and never really developed an appreciation for the bitter taste, so I’m neither a coffee drinker (not even the milk/sugar types) or a beer drinker; I also don’t like dark chocolate. I’ve tried, but it just never became enjoyable.
I’d never drank it until I was 32. I decided to start drinking it because all the soda I’ve had throughout my life (pretty much addictrd to mountain dew, Dr pepper, and red bull throughout my life) was starting to catch up to me. Soda is way worse for you than coffee, and I wanted a healthier option. I hated it at first but kept drinking it. Now I look forward to it. 2 cups a day, any more than that and I get anxious and jittery. And best of all, haven’t had soda since (except the occasional jarittos). Still have never drank alcohol though, addiction runs in my family
I don’t understand why people are motivated to “learn to like” drinks that are not even good for us. Excessive sugar, caffeine, alchohol, cigars etc. all normalized to have a addiction to.
Don’t get me started on that! My wife is the same. I recommend a show, multiple times. Nope, not interested. But as soon as one of her girlfriends even mentions it that she should check it out “Okay, we should start watching that show!” THAT’S WHAT I RECOMMENDED FOR YEARS NOW!
Why would i pursue things i’m trash at and don’t like? Just to prove that I can? Lol
Sometimes, yes. That’s how I got into ultra distance triathlon. But I stopped once I proved I could, so maybe a fail. But I’ve also stopped more hobbies than most people have started, so tough to find correlations between liking something and sticking with it.
