*they've hit the second coffee pot!"* *steers plane into a building*
I wonder if it's because coffee raises blood pressure and heart rate, and helps counteract the atmospheric density being lower in a plane
Joke's on her—I’m flying with my coffee, anxious and irregular AF
I’ve never seen anyone eating coffee. Sounds strange.
Some people would use spoon to eat milk surface of cappuccino or latte coffee
Oh interesting!
Ughh yeah. If I'm doing anything slightly nerve wracking no food for me or I'm just in the toilet wanting to punch my stomach for being a dick. Just tiny sips of water for me.
"Oh, this surgery you'll be awake for so you can eat or drink day of!"
Absolutely not. No. I can't throw my stupid guts at the bathroom when you're going inside with needles, so I'm going to go with fasting, thanks!
Meanwhile I'm pounding down beers
Hell yeah pre-flight beers give you the most fun encounters in what is normally a hell; airports
Have you heard of alcohol and pills?
Better not mix both, but yeah benzos have been a real game changer. Don't take the emergency exit seats though.

One of my coworkers asked me why I don't just drink my coffee on the way to work. I drink mine before I leave.
Why? I love coffee, but coffee does not love me. I need to be able to shit before I leave. And then sometimes again when I get to work.
No, I don't put milk products in my coffee.
Have you tried tea? It typically has even more caffeine than coffee.
I try now and then but I just can't get into it. I love the taste of coffee. I know teas are varied and have different flavor and I try different ones now and then but I always come back to coffee. I love the taste and the smell. Even decaf doesn't seem to help alleviate GI issues with it though...it seems to be something about the coffee itself that my body doesn't like.
I have to purposely forgo drinking snything for at least 12 hours before a flight so i can manage the time between using the last bathroom before boarding the plane and when the seatbelt sign comes off and i can use the plane bathroom. But then still cant drink anything on the plane and have to carefully track estimated arrival time so i can get my last bathroom break in right before we start descending.
I'm the same, except I never remember to dehydrate myself. I swear the second my brain realizes I can't go to the bathroom whenever I want, it decides it needs to go right now. Otherwise I can easily go 6-8h in between breaks.
coffee is even bad for normal stomachs. makes them bad in a couple of years.
