I laughed as most ADHD memes are relatable to me (gee I wonder why) but not this one I say to myself as I put down my Costco milkshake and pick up my split bottle for coffee and water

I guess I should try this "fun" drink idea!
I've been off coffee since covid and I've been just fine! I rarely have any problems with forgetting to finish a task that I
I had been off of coffee for around 2 years.
Few days ago, I had two mug fulls.
Over the course of 5 hours.
... I only got halfway through the second one, because I went into a literal flop sweat and was lightheaded, like, woozy, while also jittery.
... I am going back to not doing coffee.
I've been enjoying the decafs these days. I play with the ratios daily for flavor and caffeine content and it's working quite well. The decaf bean tech and variety has advanced quite a bit.
Would recommend if you "miss" the hot beverage ritual without paying the jittery costs.
Does decaf regulates the poop schedule too?
Haha nope!
In my case, that train has always run on time and governed by a separate entity. Thankfully.
Some sources did say, decaf has less impact than 'caf', but the trigger will starts be there. Consume at your own risk.
I laughed at this joke, then looked over at my end table...
I managed to give up fun and water. Just coffee now.
When I was properly medicated I was able to kick caffeine completely and it was amazing to just drink water during the day with a soda as a treat. Much better than my non medicated ass needing 2 energy drinks just to get through the day, and still not accomplish anything worthwhile.
This is just one side of the spectrum. On the other side is a person so drastically dehydrated their eyeballs are solid because they forgot to get any drinks.
That's one of the reasons I love my wife so much. She's the one in the meme (self proclaimed "beverage goblin") and I used to regularly go 1-2 days without drinking just cause I forgot. Now she waters me like a plant. :)
This but my fun drink is weed
vodka will do in a pinch though
Looking at the water bottle, coffee mug, and Sprite can sitting on my desk right now.
Yeah, checks out.
It's funny because it is true. Only, I don't constantly have three drinks with me because it is winter and during winter I forget what drinking is outside of meals - especially during the work week.
Also, during summer, my fun drink is my water because I drink from jars with metal straws and throw tenthousand ice cubes into the jar before filling it with water. It makes my brain tickle. At home my man wants me to drink out of a glass like a normal person, but he doesn't understand that water in a normal glass is the dullest shit you can do to water. I need my jar with the cute berries on it and the metal straw (no ice cubes because it's winter)!
Also my coffee tends to be dark chocolate.
But yeah, during meals I have water and whatever fun drink I am in the mood for.
Nothing is better than finding that perfect drinking vessel. For me it's a Tervis tumbler. Even when we have formal dinners like Christmas and Thanksgiving I'll have my Philadelphia Eagles tumbler on the table along with the fancy stemware glasses.
Tell your man to go kick rocks and drink how you want to drink.
I love the mental picture of you being at a formal dinner with sports themed tumbler xD
Also, don't worry. My man isn't too serious about the drinking glass thing. It's closer to banter that he wants me to drink out of a normal glass.
I use pickle jars, regular glasses are far too small to hold sufficient amount of water
Pickle jars also sounds like good drinking containers! And I 100% agree with the holding a sufficient amount of water. It's fewer distractions if you have a bigger drinking container. You fill up once or twice and not only do you get the proper amount of fluids in a day, you also get to focus on other things than constantly having to go for refills. It would legit drive me insane if I had to refill my water supply more than a maximum of thrice a day. Life is too short for that bs. Ans I'm also not gonna get a jug to pour into a glass. Too many steps. Just give me my jar and a straw and I am good.
I think coffee can fill all of these functions
the three humors
I used to have all three at my desk, but now the water is flavored sometimes and pulling double duty.
Yep. I switched to flavored seltzer and now I barely drink regular water. Flavored seltzer fills two slots.
I need a three-chambered tumbler.
They actually make push pops like this now. Just like they made pens back in my day with 4 different colors in one pen.
God i wish i could have off the shelf coffee drinks, every single goddamn one (of reasonable caffeine content) has dairy, and i don't want to spend my day on the toilet 😭
Right now I have two coffees. A leisure coffee, an espresso for when I need the zoomies, and water.
Laughs in just alcohol
I'm doing a rebrand, my beer is now a fun drink
Water, and these last two are interchangeable for the caffeine/fun part
- Raspberry White Chocolate Mocha Latte (called a Kiss Me Kate at the shop I frequent)
- Cherry Coke Zero
Water is my fun drink
the trick is specialty coffee. That way you combine the fun one and wakey one!!
My fun drink is the coffee and teas :3
