It's possible to get the tolerance down, but it requires having the time for three-day-long blinding impossible headaches that leave you basically useless (if you do it cold turkey, anyway.) I did it back then because it was pretty clear I had to do something, but oh god do I hope I never have to again.
But yeah, you're right, enough on that.

noooo thaaaanks

I did it when I found out I was pregnant. I figured 8 shots of espresso a day and multiple Redbulls were not good for a developing baby. Thankfully, people expect pregnant women to be tired (and oh God I was tired)!

How do I answer that question if I had a heart attack that technically did kill me for a time, but they were able to revive?

wasn't fatal, you were still hanging onto the ceiling. they just had to peel you off.

omg I can't imagine the headaches coming off all that. I was drinking a pot and a half to two pots of coffee a day when I found out I was pregnant. Quit cold turkey, that was bad enough.

I'm pretty sure the survey I just took was to just ask/get answers for a single question.

That's a good reason. I mainly just did it because I got to the point where 4 caffeine pills plus multiple drinks were barely enough to keep me awake through a normal 8 hour work shift, and I was scared I was probably melting my kidneys or something. (it honestly didn't occur to me to think of my heart, dumb kid)

Surprisingly I don't remember having much of a headache, but I might have slept through them.

You can still have coffee, but I think the high-recommended amount of caffeine is like 200mg/day.

first kid - quit cold turkey
second kid - nope still having my cup of coffee every morning

people like to put overly cautious restrictions on women at a time when they are emotionally vulnerable

My mother ,smoked, drank, and dropped me on my head about 4 or 5 times , all while consuming prodigious amounts of coffee and coke and I turned out fine.

But.....did you REALLY turn out fine?

You can still have coffee, but I think the high-recommended amount of caffeine is like 200mg/day.

I wouldn't drink coffee or any alcohol at all for that matter. American doctors can tell you that a small amount is fine. But in many parts of Europe, there is zero tolerance.

Both of my midwives said to cut down, not go cold turkey b/c it's easier on your bodies, and only massive amounts of caffine are harmful in reality. (So like, my whole pot or so wasn't a good idea...but neither was none.)
Mommy-shaming just sometimes hits the medical world too.

 

[ChristopherASA]

Yes!! It's hard to find feedback in a sea of batch or penny hits, too so I almost never check except in the event of a rejection.

Maybe some one should use that contact address we got about our weekly reports, make such a suggestion, and see if anything happens? Maybe?

And you can't bowl, either. Reason #128 (Or play Cricket: Reason #129)

Disgustingly healthy, I had a perfect attendance record through 12 years of schooling (unfortunately), Despite my many and varied efforts to kill myself with bicycles, guns and and other appliances around the house.
