The people who say they need 3 cups of black coffee to start their day are just addicts with a high tolerance that experience mild withdrawal symptoms each morning.
If you feel like that, it’s your body crying for you to take a break.
If you like an occasional cup of coffee or energy drink to get through something, then that’s fine. But if you ever feel like one isn’t working like it used to, you should take a break from caffeine to reset your tolerance, not up the dosage like an addict.
So?
I mean, this opinion isn’t really popular or unpopular. It’s just banal, unsolicited advice.
I think people often confuse “unpopular” with “uncommon”
I walk into work holding 2 tallboys of sugarfree energy drinks every day and every day someone with their gut hanging 4 inches over their belt tells me how unhealthy they are… like I fucking asked.
Yeah, Im a caffeine junky… and?
Yeah, makes sense that non coffee drinkers don’t care. I added the last bit cause I didn’t want people going “WELL I NEED IT BECAUSE I’M A TRUCKER AND DO 36 HOUR DRIVES!”, but instead I got people bringing up using it to self medicate medical conditions.
I have been called a puritanical joy hater by some coffee drinkers though, so clearly some people wildly dislike this opinion.
So I guess this was more of a “Opinion you probably don’t care about, unless you are defensive about being a coffee drinker”
It’s not that. I’d be happy to upvote an unpopular opinion like “Coffee should have the same ad restrictions as tobacco” or “Coffee should be scheduled alongside cocaine.”
Your post reads as a criticism disguised as an opinion.
It comes off as smarmy.
There’s a reason that the major sobriety programs have a tradition of not expressing opinions about what other people do with their lives, avoiding any opinion on temperance, or anything political, for that matter. It would be counterproductive and make them easier to dismiss as fringe wackos.
Ummm you do know trucking is regulated and you can’t drive for more than 11 hours a day.
