So... about an hour after I started sipping my coffee, I commented to my friend, "This is good, but my head is starting to feel a little funny, I wonder if it's the caffeine..." I had a weird feeling in my temples and forehead - not a headache, but weird. I continued to sip my drink...
Around noon I went out and sat in my car for peace and quiet and lunch. By then I knew without a doubt that I had a wicked caffeine buzz. My leg was twitching, I was using talk to text, and I was talking really fast. I wasn't even hungry. I sent my coffee loving best friend this text:
Omg, I got a
Starbucks cold brew
and I am jittery as hell
That cold brew
has a lot of caffeine,
but it's so good
It's good but I can do
this much caffeine -
I feel so off right now,
and I didn't even finish it!
I looked it up 300 mg
for a venti size.
Good LORD, I was being held hostage by my coffee, and I didn't like it one bit. It took HOURS to wear off, and now, this evening, I'm thirsty as a parched desert camel. The upside of all this is my stomach feels just fine. But still - no more heavily caffeinated drinks for me.
