I drink more Coffee than Tea these days

Worrying.

"Coffee is ok occasionally, but tea is a far superior beverage." ALBERT EINSTEIN, October, 1922.

I agree with Einstein.

Which bit is worrying? I'm confused

I just wondered how Indians drink so much tea as it's revolting without milk but although cows are holy they are fine with dairy products.
So that only explains the tea drinking, also ghee.

And also it means it won't curb my marital life on "bovine love island" if I become Hindu within my cow marriage .

Coffee only here. Last drank tea 50 years ago.

Half a kg of espresso beans a week here, only drink tea with fish and chips, coffee just won't do.

Since the end of ww2 every British tank has had a kettle in it for making tea without having to get and get shot at making a cuppa. It's rumoured to also heat up food pouches, but Tea is basically the essential component in UK armed forces.

get OUT and get shot at. Sorry, was typing in a hurry as the kettle was boiling

Easier to make and harder to spoil, I always have tea at customer's houses, bad coffee is truly rank.

Coffee's like my crack cocaine, often find myself looking forward to my next fix. The feeling of elation i often get is quite worrying. Still 2.5-1 in favour of tea on a daily rate.

used to be an 8-10 tea man
now 1 cup in morning
like a take away cafe for £4 odd for some weird reason

like cider too much

Tea and coffee. They have to be black without sugar.

Hey, who doesn't?

If any Tea nowadays

If your a coffee lover just buy a kilo of caffeine and sniff a little save ya a few bob

coffee wreaks you - my problems started with a night shift and coffee. eventually couldn't operate without it. I had to stop operating after i killed three.

I love tea but i haven't had a cup for about 6 months.I chose to stop drinking tea because i was drinking far too much of it.I was drinking about 10 cup a day.I've recently started drinking coffee.Depending on my mood,circumstances,etc,i'll normally drink about 3 cups a day.

There's caffeine in tea, so if you drink a lot of it you're probably getting more caffeine than a moderate drinker of coffee.

Anyone who considers their digestion or suffers from acid problems should cut out tea and coffee altogether.
They're both acid forming.

Plus the fact that both are usually taken with milk and sugar.

Dr Crippen are you a real DOC

Hoe many mg does a tetley tea bag weigh

Thats per 100g of each

Red bull has 30mg

Coffee is a killer

Caffeine is water soluble, if it goes through an espresso machine it is not in contact with water for very long and you get less caffeine than in  filter or jug methods.

COFFEE IS THE DEVIL'S WORK!!!


ENGLISHMEN ONLY DRINK TEA

I'm very much a creature of habit and have 2 cups of strong tea and 4 cups of very strong coffee every day. Milk in both but don't touch sugar.

I lived in Cyprus for a while and the coffee they serve up is similar to the black stuff they repair motorways with. I hated it at first but soon became addicted.

Crap weak coffee is worse than drinking cat wee.

Tea and coffee are full of antioxidants.

No wonder so many people are depressed and on sleeping tablets in the UK

Taking Caffeine all day and wondering why they can't sleep

Be it Energy Drinks / Tea / Coffee you need to come down if you take too much


Here's a thread about people using caffeine powder

https://drugs-forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=234908

Can just drop some in your stew or mince instead of drinking brown fluid

Or fire some in your cereal ( with lots of milk )

I buy pro-oxidant biscuits and have a couple with every cuppa to counteract the negative impact.

Thanks for expressing your concern.

"Dude, caffeine isn't a drug: it's the most important meal of the day! wink "

Please dont do something stupid like take a whole tablespoon of caffeine powder. Its easy to forget that caffeine can kill you. Anything over 500mg will start to make you will start to lose your focus and begin to feel feverish so there really is no point in taking over the top doses of caffeine. If I were you I would make a bunch of 100mg gel capsules to pop every couple of hours to keep focused, and maybe even a couple 50mg so you can have more exact dosages.


Why buy coffee at starbucks when you can use this trick ?

I feel bad for junkies now getting tarnished with the name JUNKIE just because they take something the GOV don't make money on it

But if it's legal then it's all good

Mostly everyone in the UK is on some kind of drug

Someone with pains will wake up have a Cigarette / Coffee and pop a few Tramadols and feel on top of the world

Why can't someone who likes Ecstasy buy it legally to risk getting sold alternatives ?

antioxidants is a good thing!

Is Opiate ?

So it has some good things

I tell you now people are on sleeping pills because of caffeine addiction my friend

antioxidants is a good thing!

Oh yeah - trying to be funny and I completely got the wrong end of the stick. What an @rse I am.

Why you think depression and anxiety has been a bigger issue in USA  than the UK

But the UK is fast catching as more coffee shops open the more meds the docs give out

Need coffee to get going in the morning and pills to sleep it off

I drink tea sometimes i'm just saying  how it is

Only owd women drink tea

Coffee is for hard nuts who watch too much American TV

My Tv's japanese

Starbucks entered the U.K. market in 1998 with the $83 million[30] USD acquisition of the then 56-outlet, UK-based Seattle Coffee Company, re-branding all the stores as Starbucks. In September 2002, Starbucks opened its first store in Latin America, at Mexico City. Currently there are over 500 locations in Mexico and there are plans for the opening of up to 850 by 2018.[31]



1998 and the UK and fell for Coffee like a bunch of clowns

Now they are hitting Mexico on a huge scale( will the wall allow this )

You sure it's not Chinese

Starbucks' battle plan calls for using London's caffeine-craving populace of 9 million as a springboard to opening 500 retail locations in Europe by 2003 - and, potentially, another 500 in Asia by the same date.

   "Europe has always represented a major strategic opportunity to achieve our goal of creating and building an enduring global brand," said Howard Schultz, Starbucks' chairman and chief executive officer.


whats the goal get everyone hooked on caffeine

Als Buckfast is packed full of it why you think it sends folk mad and not to bed

Just as with the Class A drug, the cocktail can have a devastating affect on the chemical balance of the brain that lasts long into adulthood.
This is a taste of the effect it has on the body in the first 12 days of finishing a can:
FIRST 10 MINUTES AFTER FINISHING A CAN
The caffeine begins to permeate your bloodstream.
In turn, your heart rate and blood pressure start to pick up pace.
15-45 MINUTES LATER
If you drink it fast, you'll start feeling more alert and concentrated around 15 minutes later. Slow drinkers may not feel the effects for about 40 minutes. 
30-50 MINUTES LATER
Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat - of which there is plenty.
1 HOUR LATER
Your body starts to experience a sugar crash, as well as the effects of the caffeine dying down, you'll start to feel tired and energy levels will start to feel low.
You've also now urinated out all the water that was in the Red Bull.
First, however, that water infused with valuable nutrients that your body could have used hydrate your system or strengthen your bone, which were also washed out.
5-6 HOURS LATER
It takes this long for the amount of caffeine to half in your body.
For women who take the Pill, it will take 10 hours.
12 HOURS LATER
The time that it takes most people to fully remove caffeine from their bloodstream.
The speed at which this happens does depend on many factors from age to activity.
12-24 HOURS LATER
Withdrawal symptoms kick in.
About a day after you had your caffeine hit, you're in the mood for another.
If you have become used to a daily - or more regular - fix, you will start to feel lethargic, distressed, experience headaches and constipation. 
7-12 DAYS LATER
Studies have shown this to be the time frame for your body to become tolerant to your regular caffeine dosage.
That means you'll get used to it and won't feel the effects as much.
THE PROS AND CONS OF DRINKING ENERGY DRINKS
PRO: Energy drinks like Red Bull are well within the national guidelines of 400 milligrams of caffeine per day. They contain 80 milligrams per 250ml can.
PRO: Coffee can be much higher in caffeine. For example, a venti americano at Starbucks contains 300mg of caffeine.
CON: It is high in sugar - and therefore calories. And caffeine, a stimultant drug, can cause anxiety, dehydration, nausea, and a dangerously high heart rate.
CON: The number of people hospitalized due to energy drinks doubled between 2007 and 2014 in the US, according to SAMHSA.

And coffee is worse they say

Starbucks to roast Europe

Buying Seattle Coffee, U.S. chain launches sip-by-sip sally into Europe


http://money.cnn.com/1998/04/29/deals/starbucks/

I totally buy the red bull half life thing, I've had red bull and still fell buzzing and awful the next day.
It's dangerous stuff if you aren't careful.

The Japanese have it right - you can buy canned tea in vending machines including milky white tea!

just checking

They brought Red bull into clubs in the 90s and ravers used it as a sub for ecstasy (obviously not for the proper buzz but mixed with drink to keep them up )

I don't drink coffee, a couple of mugs of strong tea does me. Even the very smell of Red Bull makes me want to gag let alone drink the stuff.

Never ever had Red Bull myself, as someone who is very conscious of sugar intake.

Was looking up how much sugar was in redbull and found this


If you glance at the nutrition label on the back of popular energy drink Red Bull, the amount of sugar within is clearly stated: 27 grams per 8.4 fluid ounces. But Reddit user Gizmosarrow — who preferred the larger 12-ounce can — had trouble visualizing the amount.

“I wanted to see how much 39g of sugar actually was,” the Redditor wrote on the site Monday, admitting in the comments to a “two 12-oz. cans a day” habit. Turns out that the amount of sugar in one can alone translates to a rather startling mound of the sugary stuff.

Here’s what 39 grams of sugar looks like:




39 grams of sugar is about 9 and a half tea spoons of sugar.

I tried it a few times and it's rank

Doctors are against it

It's addictive and people end up on sleepers

Red bull sugar and caffeine and look what they own

Football teams , F1 Teams

The product is marketed through advertising, events (Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, Red Bull Air Race, Red Bull Crashed Ice), sports team ownerships (RB Leipzig, FC Red Bull Salzburg, Red Bull Brasil, New York Red Bulls, Red Bull Racing, Scuderia Toro Rosso), celebrity endorsements, and music, through its record label Red Bull Records.[9]

You get diet red bull, it's just as a "effective".
They at least sponsor the last (AFAIK) flying sea vixen:
