    Ugh. Limiting coffee (anxiety, sleep issues) is hard. 1) The caffeine. 2) That shit is the most delicious substance ever. Decades in, never get tired of it.

    • I feel your pain. I had to quit years ago as it made me feel so sleepy the day after drinking a cup.Chimp
    • Yerba mate far better. Doesn't dehydrate.shapesalad
    • same, cant bring myself to drink decaf coffee so switched to decaf tea in an attempt to offset one cup of coffee in the morning. used to be a 6 brews/ day :-|kingsteven
    • Green tea can help you kick coffee gradually. Start with as much green tea as you want then wean yourself off it

    • green tea still contains caffeine.
      decaf tea is pretty decent as just tastes like regular tea.
      Rooibos is a decent alternative to tea.      microkorg

    • Big mate fan, but fair warning: science has shown it's a carcinogen and there are studies that link it to esophageal cancer.garbage
    • But again, yerba mate is great.garbage
    • @garbage - that appears to be due to drinking a lot of very hot mate and possible Polycyclic Aromatics. The former applies to any hot drink and the lalter..Nairn
    • ..is something I must admit I'm a bit wary of. "...In rats" is the reality, but rats haven't spent the last x tens of 000s of years evolving, cooking their foodNairn
    • very true. we've only been able to ingest milk as adults for 6000 years (less for most of us westerners) i'm not sure you can evolve patience to let liquid coolkingsteven
