I can drink a 6-cup pot of espresso and immediately have a nap

I can drink pot after pot of espresso every day (i love the taste and comforting warmth) yet if I travel or “miss” my morning coffee it changes nothing about how I feel or my energy level. No cravings ever.

I kind of would like to get the zap of a good caffeine buzz. It sounds like some kind of amazing out-of-body nervous energy

When I was a kid my friends used to love this stuff called “Jolt Cola” that was marketed as having “All the sugar, and twice the caffeine” of regular soda (lol)… I drank can after can of it and never clued into why I thought it was just regular soda, and my friends were going cuckoo berserk on it

It’s a weird superpower. I’m also immune to codeine and similar, which I’ve come to understand are similar molecules… so it seems to explain something to me. I didn’t figure any of this out until my mid 30’s. Post-dental surgery, emergency visits and similar was always a huge battle because they’d think I was lying when I said the painkillers weren’t working, assuming I was drug-seeking

Just talking

    I am the complete opposite - caffeine has an intense and horrible effect on me. Even the tiniest bit, like a sip of coffee or a small cup of green tea, makes my heart feel like it will burst from my chest and my thoughts begin to swirl.

    If we combine our powers we can make a normal guy.

      One time I poisoned a love-interest when I made her lasagna from scratch to impress her… I put a small amount of espresso in the red sauce for earthiness like I always do, and that’s when I found out she has a severe sensitivity to coffee!! Ooops. We’re not together lol
