    4)its false, you cant control it because you become addicted to it, and become tolerant and you end up taking even more. i knew someone in college that was taking pills she got so used to it, she had to keep taking it for it work normally.

      The dependency does not change based on the form.

      When you take a pill, you have a hard number about how much caffeine did you just ingest. On the other hand, you don’t get that at all with the normal coffee.

    Unpopular, maybe, but I agree with OP. When I finally counted up all the caffeine I was consuming, I found I was over 1500mg/day.

    I switched to caffeine-free drinks the next day, and tapered down to 200mg in the mornings.

    Apparently, I shouldn’t try to explain this to people IRL.

    At that point you could just take some amphetamines if you don’t want to drink coffee.

    Well, I love coffee but at the moment I’d better avoid caffeine, thus I’m drinking a lot of decaffeinated. What I mean, coffee isn’t just about caffeine.

    This is all true, but thankfully tea exists which is both caffeinated and unlike coffee doesn’t taste like somebody already digested it.

        Occasionally, not universally. I also occasionally enjoy a small bit of coffee flavor ice cream, though never very much, and I do actually like coffee in food occasionally; the espresso bellavitano is delightful and a small pinch of coffee or espresso is very nice in chilis, pork rubs, or chocolate cakes and mousses.

        But drinking the stuff is no bueno for me.

    4, yes you can, haven’t you never heard of measures? Or do you just not know how to do math in your head based on how much you’ve had?

    Volumetric dosing is more accurate than crumbs of pills, as long as you have a homogeneous solution and know it’s strength.

    3 swallowing pills is more boring and most people like a liquid to go with it, so you’re gonna have to have a drink anyway

    2 that depends a ton on the coffee and where you’re buying caffeine pills from

    1 practice dental hygiene and moderation of consumption.

    If you’re doing it just for the caffeine, you have a caffeine addiction. For me, I drink coffee because I enjoy it. The caffeine I can take or leave, and often do.

    This year I’ve enjoyed every single cup of coffee I’ve had; all three of them.

    • 2, 3, 4 You really think drinking coffee is about caffeine? What’s next, you should eat sugar instead of drinking soda?

    It’s not unpopular, it’s being ignorant.

    True … Your opinion isn’t gonna be popular any time soon ;) . It’s not (just) about caffeine. The problem seems to me you never had a decent cup coffee in your life.

    People downvoting seem to have forgotten this unpopular opinions.

    I love the taste of coffee and it’s the only thing I drink other than water. It’s not just about caffeine intake and happily drink decaf along with 2 regular coffees.

      I’m downvoting because it’s not an unpopular opinion. It isn’t even an opinion.

      Counterpoint: the ratio of downvotes to upvotes indicates that it is an unpopular opinion
